- Seems like it, they may have briefly sped up around that time, no idea if by coincidence or if they were told he’d try and they didn’t want him. Could have been more exciting but actually don’t think he had enough stamina for such a move, let’s not forget the speeds they’ve been pushing all month and today, even in top form, which is doubtful, that would be getting to him too after 2 weeks non-stop.
- Unfortunately, you can’t send out different messages to different kinds of people.
The very vast majority don’t need a message in the first place, a few will take it as a challenge, some will do something anti-authoritarian and a couple more will try to exploit it for fame or monetary value. In the end, no message prevents the last three categories, that leaves one very small niche somewhere that the message may help for, those who are sometimes absent-minded who for some reason remember the message in the right moment. On the other hand, few people have proposed better suggestions to prevent these things happening and frankly, when you consider the thing in its entirety, we’re actually lucky and I’m surprised not more happens (it will in future though) when you compare to other big crowded events.
- when/where id Pog suggest that "free speech be stopped?" ... and I believe all TdF riders are 'free' to escape UAE/Pogs "stranglehold" = all they have to do is sustained +7.1w/kg attacks
- Clearly arrogance has gone to their heads. Tadej the cycling world is not UAE, free speech cannot be stopped and neither can the riders that want to break free of your teams stranglehold
- I'd like to understand Wout's move in the 2nd climb, did he want to try to catch the 4 guys in front and couldn't make it? Or something else?
- It's a good thing that the Tour organizers had sent a message to the fans, asking them to not do anything stupid.
- what threat? what are they going to do, ban him again? meanwhile the head of the UCI is riding in a car all day up Ventoux with Richard Virenque of all people.
glass houses and stones people.
- Contador likes Jonas because he's a light climber just like he was.
- Correct, he just need to follow while telling Jonas non stop that even though he is behind him he is still over four minutes ahead, LOL American Flyers style baby.
- I have an idea that Tadej is still under the weather. He just needs to follow Jonas tomorrow and the next day, he seems more than capable of doing that.
