Canceling a race for that? That? Just a little bit of a wind gust, folks. Nothing to get your britches bunched up over. You don’t spend hours and hours sculpting perfect quads and calves just to give up at the first sight of gale force winds. You put your head down and pump, pump, pump.
That’s what’s wrong with modern cycling. In my day, people won bike races with one testicle (maybe none. Hard to say. Those prosthetic testicles have come a long way) and their bodies filled to the gills with steroids. Now these guys will stop a race because of a little wind. It’s calling playing it how it lies. You race the elements, too. You cant make the mountain flat in the Tour De France and you can’t take the wind out of Cape Town Cycle Tour.
