Gen Posted July 27, 2014 Share Superb initiative by the UCI Was Vos that approached them for it.. glad it worked out.. they should let the ladies race ahead of the men more often. Infrastructure already there.. roads already closes TV coverage already there.

Slowbee Posted July 27, 2014 Share I wonder, I know its the "rules" and some time ago it was an 8 second gap - but imagine a 1 second gap between 1st and 2nd ... the temptation on that last day to just go .....

GC riders won't attack each other, it's a gentleman's agreement. Except of course if the last day is a TT.

But I get you. Imagine a young rider like Pinot doing it. He will of course get sorted out pretty quickly once caught again.

I think that is not allowed because they weren't best team, right?

andydude Posted July 27, 2014 Share I think that is not allowed because they weren't best team, right?Only the yellow (or other shirt winner) can do it. Nibali is riding with yellow bib. Not sure where exactly it is in the rules. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132451-2014-tour-de-france/page/255/#findComment-2376582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
