One word sums them up... idioti

I thought that Italian car drivers were bad but I lost count of the number of offences they went through in the 4 minutes.

Of course had that been in the UK a blue flashy light would have appeared and charged the rider of the motorcycle with numerous offences!

They were fast though and there was a distinct absence of potholes...

Aye Clive, bampot antics! :-X  By a couple of idiota.

As for the "flashy blue light", I doubt it at present, cyclists are allowed 'grand tours' as it's "exercise"!  ;) The fishtailing cyclist must have a cork clenched between his buttocks as part of that exercising.  ::)

The volume of plastic marking the road must cause a bit of sliding in the rain and dinnae no go there when it comes to micro-plastics in water courses.  :-X

Good health, Bill

Yep, a proper couple of dick heads, and I say that as a keen cyclist myself. In fact, I did a 70 mile ride yesterday, but on my own, and not quite at that speed, or with that level of contempt for other road users...

well, being a life long competative cyclist, i'm dubious about that movie clip, never go to see the speed on the bikes speedo , and, although i'm all for a high cadence ( watch chris froome climbing ) , but i think this movie was speeded up. the cyclists pedal rate was just a bit too high .... i may be mistaken ....

iv watched this a couple of times now and i dont think its speeded up. i think the speeds are explained by thee fact that its essentially a very long downhill section of road. th first few seconds show that its clearly quite high on a hill and the ammount of time the hand cyclist coasts and maintains his speed indicates that its not a level or uphil section of road. plus the sound, whilst a bit duff, doesnt really seem to indicate the film has been speeded up, as the sounds would also be speeded up and they just dont seem to be.
