- The high mountains will tell the tale.
- No, the problem is that people are too lazy to actually go find the information that’s available and just sit around hoping someone is going to do it for them. You obviously can’t count on the complaining perpetrator to reveal ALL as it would make his complaining look silly and vulnerable. The jury PUBLISHES the reasons every time, if the rider (who knows this) or the relayer (who should) doesn’t include all the details, it’s probably for a reason. Knowing people’s reasons? Well, that’s the tricky part.
So, the cause was obstruction of a competitor, and by putting 2&2 together it’s likely to have been MVDP just a few 100m after the flamme rouge. As for the image/video evidence that’s quite easy to find, I’ll let you go search for it yourself, especially as it’s pretty tricky to publish here, it’s pretty clear to me, and in light of the JP crash, quite understandable they’re being strict in order to make riders understand they can also make sure we don’t even get racing incidents.
- I don't doubt this, we'll see in about an hour how Tadej goes with Jonas.
- They are trying to build. We all know Tadej is the opposite of a bully.
- I was a little surprised that Maika didn’t make the squad - he’s always been super in the mountains
- The problem here is that the UCI hasn't explained the reason for the deduction. The whole point of such deductions is to make sure riders learn what is unacceptable (using the deduction as a form of 'punishment'). How is Jonathan supposed to learn what he did wrong if the UCI doesn't even tell him what he did wrong?!
- I hope they slow down a bit because the average speed this year is waaaaay off the chart, riding like it’s a classic every day.
- The fact he announced Vuelta can be interpreted both ways, impossible to read into it. Like when you see a lot of alcohol in someone’s home, is it an alcoholic or someone who doesn’t really drink?
- That’s the price to pay for living 2-3 times as long as in the past ;-)
He’s past the average for men so everything is a bonus now. Not great advertising for the hospital to not sterilise the whole place totally knowing someone so public was coming, maybe they became complacent through years of unnewsworthy people not affecting their reputation?
- And yet it is only a reflection of the way society has become or is heading. Why would you expect something like pro. cycling to be spared the evolution we see in politics, social media, public behaviour, ultra competitive efforts for money, fame, attention, image (even physical) reputation, etc.
