Seriously?
No, I said "I'm of the camp that you should earn your bike, within reason. You shouldn't start on the best bike available."
That was my original statement.
Within reason.
And I said that "bike racing might be a little different if we all rode the same bike." I didn't say I'd be wining at every race because now we have the same equipment. Have you ever talked to a runner? It's all about performance and training with them. Love your bike, but when you're on that last lap and your legs are burning and your lungs can't give anymore, what's going to get you to the podium? Your bike, or your training.
