Velominati Super Prestige: VVomen’s World Road Race 2016

I cannot get excited about a world championship road race on a flat course. I get it, the sprinters need their moment too, but really, the desert, where most people would not know who Beryl Burton was…correction, where nobody knows who Beryl Burton was. Yeah, yeah, they have tons of money and would like their kids to ride bikes, I still think it is a fucked place to have the worlds. And yet, the riders make the race, not the course. Think of it as a flat Dutch race with cross winds, super hot cross winds.

All you kids get off of my lawn now.

Start list is here. Good luck and good betting.

  • It's even more of a fucked-up place to hold a Football World Cup. On the bright side, for the cyclists, they may just have resurfaced a few roads. For the World Cup, the Qataris are employing thousands of slave laborers to build stadia that six months after the event will be rotting husks.

  • **Yeah! What's up with these new nations wanting some of what us historically dominant imperialist entities have had  for a couple of centuries. Don't they know their place?
