The theme - Cyclists are the toughest sportsmen in the world - fact
I have been a cyclist for a long time and although I love football and many other sports I despair at the theatrics we see at every game. Cyclists can come off the bike at up to 60kph and they will get up - get back on - and finish. This can happen on the first day of a 3 week race and if they are capable they will continue.
I have just seen an image of a rider called Jonny Hoogerland. It is a bit horrific but the fact is this rider was knocked off by a car during a race and got tangles up in barbed wire.
He got up - got cleaned down and rode to the finish.
That night he got his wounds dressed and stitched - YES STITCHED - he then went on to ride for two weeks and finish the race.
So tell me now that cyclists are not the toughest sportsmen in the world.
Fact - the tour de france is 3 weeks long and lasts approximately 105 hours. This equates to 70 football matches - or a full season in 3 weeks.
What is the toughest sport in the world? It is a question that has been asked for a long time, and with the new NFL season starting and the Rugby World Cup underway, the age-old debate about which sport is the toughest in the world once again rages.

Well, how do you consider whether or not a sport is tough? Though there are several parameters to measure the popularity of any sport, but to evaluate the endurance and physical strength needed for a sport, no source of measurement is here.
I personally have met some sports junkies, knew nothing but pretended to be ‘Mike Tyson’ of Football.
