How old is too old?

They may be given pro contracts for their knowledge and in race savvy to keep the young guns in check.

It's a bit like Jan Molby playing for Liverpool, couldn't run 10 yards but was the hub that all the passes came from.

Lance Armstrong is still winning triathlons at the age of 44. I bet some cycle teams would like him in their peloton.

I got my bus pass last Friday, have used it twice this week, and have now given up cycling completely.
Not that I was ever in any sense competitive.

I have a bus pass, do I have to give up now :-(

Undoubtedly with some chemical support

Thanks for the reminder Poacher. Can I sling that piece of aluminium and rubber sh!te into a skip and fumble my way to a bus stop?

Maybe they should give old facts a heads start in races... Kind of like the ladies T off in golf

Yeah, it's sad to see 40 year old guys just hanging on by winning the Vuelta D'Espana.

Ask yourself, why they are there?

They would not be kept there if they were serving some purpose.

 

[Pale Rider]

Ask yourself, why they are there?

Because they are rarely caught...taking drugs.

Yes it is a bit sad, it's like watching a kid with their parent in a park, playing football, and when the parent scores a goal, watching them telling the kid how shyte the kid is.

I reckon they should also ban anyone over the age of 18 from riding a BMX, or using a skateboard, in public..........

 

[oldjontrev]

Go on for as long as you want to

Surely with his track record of dabbling in drugs he wouldn't dare take them again to enhance his performance in any sport he competes in? I think he's a natural athlete who can still perform well in his mid forties. It makes you wonder how many TdF's he would've won without chemical assistance. I think he would've ended up as a 3 or 4 times winner of the tour. Fool him for wanting to be the man who won most tours,look where it got him!

Except he appears to have zero remorse for his doping!
