Title: Sportsmanlike Conduct
Post by: dylanfan53 on July 22, 2003, 08:00:25 AM
I read today that when Lance Armstrong fell during the last stage of the Tour de France all the other cyclists stopped and waited for him to get back on his bike before proceeding.  What a great example of sportsmanlike behavior.  Maybe we should all learn from them.  It got me thinking...
I'd like to suggest that the next time I fall everyone stop and allow me to collect my wits, check out my bike and get back on the track.  You might even want to come over and help pick up the bike, or offer me a cold drink or cool rag for my forehead.  (Maybe even a clean pair of undies, depending on the circumstances.)  Just a thought... ;D ;) ;D

After the race, we'll wipe your forehead with your undies..

Sorry Don....

If Paul knew you were down in 4, I'm sure he would have stopped.  But he was already past there when you were checking out the grass.   ;D
