Yeah, and let's look at another fact that - statistically speaking - TT riders are way safer than those attempting to climb the world's highest and most dangerous mountains. Some figures quoted here (a few years old) seem to back this up, though its written by a biker so maybe some bias.

E Wood, wood'n e? Here's his allegations in The Guardian, plus some qualifying comments in which he states he was only drawing conclusions from reading articles and viewing the 2015 documentary film An Open Secret.

You're gonna get a like on your next post for this one because it deserves two. Thanks (in advance) for that! *gets busy checking other philosophers death anniversary dates* You fucked up. I'm not awake at 7:30 am!
