  To add another layer for those who have problems deciding what is normal or not. Imagine it had not been Jonas but one of the nicer ladies (pick your favourite) or just your good-looking* wife or daughter and some anonymous guy starts riding up real close taking out his phone without asking or revealing anything about himself so who’s to know if he’s not a paparazzi, stalker, or fan of a rival rider (we’ve seen what WVA “fans” are capable of wrt e.g. MVDP). As regards the road being public, you conveniently forgot that nobody is supposed to ride close to anyone else at any speed and in any case, ANYWHERE there isn’t a crowd and you insist on getting very close to some other person is invading someone’s right to some private space. Would you go plonk yourself right next to another person on an empty beach? Please, a bit of common sense and savoir-vivre when applying theoretical rules.

  All easy to say but did you think at all about how it would be if every amateur car driver would start chasing every celebrity in a car? Will they all have to end up like Diana before people realise a public road does not mean any old behaviour? There are already good reasons why pros have certain privileges on public roads (in more advanced cycling nations) and why they are generally accompanied during group rides. It’s not dissimilar to certain rules being extended for film crews or the transport of protected persons (whether dangerous criminals or royalty and leaders).

  It's actually normal. Most pro riders train alone. This is because each rider has their own training programme so it's difficult to be riding together e.g. if one is doing a Zone 2 ride and another is doing intervals.

  But he took his anger out on an amateur rider who simply offered his help. That rider said that he understood Jonas's anger, but that says a lot about how kind and humble the rider is.

  Doper Horner is a wanna be and would be totally irrelavent if he hadn't doped to win that Vuelta!

  They are already racing at the Alula Tour this week!

  Chris Horner’s opinion is valid and shouldn’t be dismissed just because he’s allegedly a doper. His opinions have sound judgement and definitely make sense to me. I prefer his opinions to others who haven’t raced in their life!!
