SwissVan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I wouldn't call him a villain. Am still supporting him all the way to Paris. But he's saying some silly stuff. Of course it's important. But is he inconsistent on his safety issues. He says Contador was being unnecessarily dangerous on the "Beloki descent". What was dangerous was Froome trying to stay on his wheel. Again, was Froome wrong? Who ended up on his arse on the day??The only silly stuff was the totally misquoted sensationalist headlines the media created out of Froomes statement. Rider safety must be left out of the hands of the riders.Leave it to the race organisers. It's their job. Wrong!In all forms of sport where participant safety is an issue participants have the right to voice concerns like this. Race organizers are the last people who should be entrusted with rider safety. They have to create a spectacle that is better and more spectacular than last years event and other similar events and even though they say safety is of paramount importance its clearly not. Open your eyes and look at the routes the guys race on. Its thanks to the amazing skill of the riders that there have not been more serious accidents. Don't forget they are racing for their livelihood, going slow does not happen when you are desperate and racing for top spot. Heaven forbid that tomorrow we are all here crying about some desperate rider who goes over the edge somewhere today. dev null 1

DJ84 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 To all the people standing up for Sky and saying that changing the route for riders safety, just remember this. If you are scared and cant go as fast as the rest don't race (such as Pinot)Think of all the dangerous races in other sports.Isle of ManDakar RalleyRoof Top (Africa) Ride to your ability,if you are not good in the wet (Wiggins), suffer and lose time to your opponents.Its the name of the game.

Tumbleweed Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 The only silly stuff was the totally misquoted sensationalist headlines the media created out of Froomes statement. I watched the post-race interview. I drew my conclusion from that and from what I watched on the stage - which I have seen more than once. I hate this "misquote" thing being used over and over. It's a cop-out.
