Because, hoo boy, I really cannot stand the Tour de France! Sure, it’s some nice endurance bicycling through gorgeous landscapes, but at the same time probably nobody has won it in several decades without being doped up to their ears with performance enhancing drug cocktails, while pretending that it was all due to their hard training and will! Bloody hypocrites, all of those involved. You know what would improve that race? Be honest and loving embrace the drugs! In Formula One it is not only the drivers competing against each other, but also the car companies and their engineers. Do that for the mfing TdF! I want to see Team Pfizer, Team Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis competing against each other! Heck, add some South American drug cartels promoting their organic cocaine! I want to see chemical abominations, Bane like monsters on bicycles. Till then, gently caress off, TdF What other sports could be improved by being honest and fully embracing their unethical sides?

The Detroit Grand Prix needs to gently caress off and die and quit tearing up Belle Isle every summer, and I'm proud to say I spit on racers if I see them

Conversely, is it okay if you hate all races? Keep it really inclusive. NASCAR, Tour De France, Isle of Man TT, Boston Marathon, Americas Cup, anything really. If you're gonna try to get from point A to point B, and you're gonna try to time it, forget it. Garbage!

I've been playing a racing game called Dirt lately, and I gotta ask why the gently caress do people dig these ditches next to the roads in Jämsä, Finland. They're like custom built for somersaulting a Mini Cooper S into a forest. gently caress that race. Also there's a specific turn that is definitely not "left 3 tightens", it's "slam the breaks fucko or we both die".

Kraftwerk like the Tour de France, and they also like robots so it seems a pretty clear next step for the race to just embrace that tbh

Bike races are a blight on any community they appear in. You see one in your neighborhood and it’s already over. I see a bike race and my first instinct is to avert my eyes and cross the street, but then they all start swerving and screaming at me. They do seem to be able to naturally move fast, I’ll give them that.

Yeah it is odd that people competing in an event specifically designed to go fast to get it over with as fast as possible would be moving quickly

I'd love races more if they removed restrictions. So many sports ruined because "MY BALANCES". Yeah, we gotta be fair etc. But the closest we have is Le Mans. I want an entire series where there's no rules about from what might kill or harm others. You want to strap a loving jet turbine on your car? Go for it. I don't give a gently caress. This bullshit about only allowing certain chassis, or engines can only be XYZ sepcifications. gently caress that. Ball bearing wheels, eight wheels, treads, you're a block, you're a circle, go loving ham. Just go fast.

It's okay to hate the London marathon if you need to use the streets that get closed off for it, or if your local chip shop owner always does it to raise money for disabled children and you feel obliged to contribute.

I mean i get it cause they were death machines that had no grip vs their power, and i think current cars could be improved by having worse suspensions or tires just to necessitate sideways driving more, but the gp B cars themselves are now slow as poo poo. letting crowds back onto the roads though, that is cool and nice

The tour de france would be greatly improved if they stopped worrying about what drugs the athletes are taking. Let them dope themselves up! It will enhance their performance, it's what it's made to do.

That's some hot take and I would enjoy watching olympic games where all the athletes are roided up neckless doom soldiers whose hearts explode before age 25. But I don't think you go far enough. They should also rescind the ban on performance enhancing cyberprosthetics. Just imagine 400m records if sprinters could have massive brushless motors and wheels for legs.
