Would you do it?
Of course not. Otherwise, why would you fuck about with controls, parcours, or any other rules for that matter? No one would choose to ride that shitty road so if you're racing the TCR why ditch the rules because no one is watching. Sure, less likely to be caught doing so, but then you know you've not followed the rules and that will burn a hole in your pathetic soul for the rest of eternity...
hippy
@cliveo
Obviously, it would be very silly to do it if you are among other racers, particularly the eagle-eyed hippy, and have race officials at the CP. But, and please note I am not for one moment suggesting this is what Lionel has or would do, what if you were all alone at the tough end of the race; exhausted after 23 days of riding. You were determined to complete the race and the parcours but life would be so much easier if, instead of riding, puncturing and pushing a fully laden bike, you could just stroll up with your hands and transponder in your pockets. Would you do it?
