....r.b.r. contributors are, by and large, idiots.

Take the omnipresent r.b.r. regular who accuses others of being
ignorant despite displaying virtually no insight regarding what
happens in a bike race (have any of you wondered if this guy has ever
been to a race? I have)...

....or people who conclude that, because LANCE won a 'Kriterium,' his
Tour win is somehow validated *and* he really can sprint, despite the
fact that it is a well known fact that these races are rigged...

....or people who think that, if LANCE wins a sixth Tour de France, he
will surpass Eddy Merckx as the greatest cyclist of ALL TIME, despite
the fact that Eddy won every race that ever existed about a dozen
times, and Lance's career to date would realistically place him
somewhere between 5th and 10th on any reasonable form of such
ranking...

....then there are people who think that Michael Jordan dominated the
NBA not by training, but merely by being talented.

A lot of it is that it is TdF time which translates into Clueless Newbies
Running Amok.

As for the rbr regular that you mention - there may be something wrong with
his cognitive abilities because a non-impaired person would have it figured
out by now.

The "idiot" description would seem to apply quite well to you, since you
don't seem to be able to recognize sarcasm even when it is dripping...

It is "well known" in the sense that everyone aside from yourself and
a select few other dumbasses know that the races are fixed.


You're Welcome,
