New cycling hero needed

Report

The Contador news is hitting me hard. He was my idol. Even modelled my riding off the saddle technique like him (with vastly different results). Now, I'll have to burn my Saxobank jerseys. Sigh

So I'm in need for a new cycling hero. Someone that lot more dependable. I figured everyone in the pro peloton is probably either has juiced, considered juicing and hang out with people that juiced. So to save myself another disappointment, I've considered this man as my new cycling hero:

Much less likely to be summoned by WADA. Please he'll be quite handy when it comes to dealing with ***s running red lights...

I don't think he can help you from inside the "big house".

He is probably in celebrity big house which is quite different to your normal big house. How OJ got off murder while Blade got 3 years for forgetting to pay his tax (probably because he was busy slaying vampires) is just ludicrous! They just trying to keep a brother down.

Feeling depressed after finding out your idol is the crack whore of international cycling?

You need a hug.

So I'm in need for a new cycling hero.

Why don't you just concentrate to enjoying your own cycling and enjoy watching pro cycling for what it is , good entertainment. Don't engage in any hero worship, as this almost guarantee you disappointment.

If you put all the emotional effort, wasted on idols, in to your own cycling, you will benefit much more and won't get let down. Just enjoy riding.

I'm don't put ALL emotional effort. Just some. But speaking of heros. Almost everyone has one, even Jesus. The only exception is Chuck Norris because when he needs a hero, he just looks into a mirror.

Agree. If you have to have one, people like Gino Bartali would be good place to start.
