  • So much this. I wish professional cycling would stop reporting nationality of riders in results. It's irrelevant and should go the way of the podium girl.

    (Go Ryder!... Ummm... Michael Woods had a good start to the season...)

  • Really? I quite like the differentiation where sport is concerned. Not sure I want to live in a world where culture is homogenised; vive la différence and all that.

    Agree about the podium girls, however.

  • Where's the attack on culture or the desire to homogenize it? I think that's a bit of an over statement. I just think it should be irrelevant. What's the logic to it in terms of displaying results when we're watching trade teams race?
