No Vaccine, No Lourdes World Cup for Racers?

No Vaccine, No Lourdes World Cup for Racers?

2 months away for Lourdes World Cup and based on what's happened so far with Djokovic (unvaccinated pro tennis player) and the French Open with his attendance in question, what about Lourdes World Cup DH for unvaccinated racers? "no exceptions"...

I'm not even aware of any riders that have said they haven't/against the vaccine?

Looked liked from last year they were all swabbing away and going to each race without too much hassle?

He he. You’re welcome.
Though he’s retired now, I can imagine Gee being a flog about it. Because Gee.

I think he's still in about 17 pieces after his crash?

Rachel clearly snared all the charisma out of that family trilogy.

After doing such a woeful job of participating in the EWS Fantasy league in 2021, I thought I'd embarrass myself by trying the DH Fantasy league.

I figure its less effort than trying to keep up with the EWS league

So, I created a private league group "Farkin Burners" with the password rotorburn2022

I wouldn't rule him out, hes young, he's a maori, and good enough to fly on a plane. 2 weeks till the race, he might be a bit sore but I reckon he'll line up.

Bugger. I’ve got so much time for that kid. Hope he’s back on the bike really quickly.

3 days to go! Rain forecast for the weekend in Lourdes...no doubt Vali will crash, but not get injured in turn 4.
Only 10 burners in the fantasy tipping?

You’re living in the past, old man. Vali will schralp turn 4!
It’s turn 7 for the crash now.
