I Admire Cav’s Attitude
I really dislike the desire of the more glamorous of Sports (football, F1 etc) to become a personality or celebrity nowadays. The culture of celebrity really annoys me within the entertaiment industry, let alone the sports world.
I much prefer Cav’s tell it like it is attitude, or Robert Miller’s disregard, they are doing what they love because they love it, not to become a household name and get recognised in the street.
Cycling is a tough sport, especially road racing, and tends to breed hard men, Hinault is still chucking people off the back of lorries even now.
The day I see a pro cyclist in the bloody jungle or watched 24 hours in a house full cameras along with Jade Goody and Ted Rogers will be a very sad day.
Long live the unapproachable, stand offish hero’s of road racing I know and love today, Chris Hoy better not get sucked into some inane celebrity TV show, that really would be a disaster.
