Just have to tell you this little story from last year's Giro. I was sitting next to CSC/CWC feedzone on the Helderberg stage and one of the young riders on that team bailed very early in the race (granted BW was toying with most of the riders anyway), however now he was waiting their for Chris Snr to come and pick him up with the team vehicle, I have never seen anything like that needless to say Chris was NOT happy that this oke just got off his bike and quit the race for no reason....the guy was still trying to explain he is not feeling well and he has no power etc, Chris wanted to hear none of it, no eye contact, no speaking to him nothing, ....and he left the rider there to help in the feedzone for the rest of the stage.... It wasn't a case of ja shame you poor young little thing, the oom understands you not feeling lekker so shame get in the car hope you feel better, oh no....that youngster new he was in BIG trouble, but understandable there is a lot of money and effort going into a Giro team and you don't just quit for no reason.... So I saw that day how kwaai Chris Snr can get a manager..... but this is not a sport for sissies now is it?
