To say staying out of accidents isn't skill is avoiding the obvious. It is also obvious to anyone reading that luck is always an issue whenever you are bike racing or not. Then after all that "who struck John" he agrees it is both...yawn a waste of time. It is best to be on a forum where folks like discussions that really don't go anywhere but have someone try to prove they know more than another. The most cogent point you made was not racing 4 or 5 and thus being safer. I don't even race but it sure is easy to see at a crit. That is also why I don't think I'll ever race...I'd be lucky to get above 5 and those hot dogs scare me to death! Please don't take this personally Homsie. Through the years we have worked very hard to keep this a pleasant forum to post upon. Our approach would have been to agree it is skill and that luck was still involved. Then you give first hand experiences that support that. Then everyone knows you race, they know that you know what you talking about and everybody is happy. I'm sure both of you have had instances where skill wasn't enough if the luck was bad enough or the luck was so bad that skill did not matter. It took several posts reach it was both luck and skill. If it isn't skill at all why has Postal/Discovery been so good at protecting Lance? Also if you watched Lance the year Tyler was hurt he either avoided crashes or avoided serious injury when his luck was bad. He did that through riding skill. Also drop back to his side trip through the field...riding skill saved the day where another rider is down along with Belocki. Again no hard feeling Homsie. We keep this a happy home. Others forums are to disagree ours is to share knowledge. There are a lot of people that monitor this board who really know their stuff. Take fly for example...anyone racing above Cat 4 is way above average. Take care and happy riding. Post Extras
