'Dale Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Well, this Giro is just awesomeAction and real thrill on the flattest of stages
Winstonian1984 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 The plague of that one bad day at a grand tour follows Porte. So much for his own camper van
Gen Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Jinne.. I lagged now... in this article it says that the TV cameras didn't catch it, but because Porte had tweeted about it the race commissaires where made aware of it. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/giro-ditalia-richie-porte-docked-two-minutes
Jaco-fiets Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Mmmmmmm! Pity it is 1 less to fight out for GC. Would have been good battle for top step it seemsHow can Porte not know about such a rule? This is his job. If i was team owner i would slam him with hefty fine
Gen Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 We have been critising the UCI for not enforcing the rules (especially when it comes to sky) and now that they have some people are critising them for enforcing the rules. Â When I told hubby.. that Clarke had helped Porte his first words to me was.. it's a team sport Clarke isn't his team mate, they should get a penalty.
Quackster Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 !!! 2 min fine for both Clarke and Porte after the OGE rider aided the Skyborgimage.jpgWtf, am I blind or is there a sky rider standing right there watching this? Probably waiting to pace Porte back to the bunch but why not give him his wheel and take the penalty by taking Clare's wheel? Not a great " marginal gain"

I agree with Jaco-Fiets. How can Porte not know the rule? lucky for him being totally doff isnt against any UCI rules.

Shebeen Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 This is both funny and ridiculous. I agree with Jaco-Fiets. How can Porte not know the rule? lucky for him being totally doff isnt against any UCI rules.seems like none of the journalists knew the rule either until porte got docked 2mins. Didn't burry get 30mins for using max knox's wheel at epic?!
HappyMartin Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 seems like none of the journalists knew the rule either until porte got docked 2mins. Didn't burry get 30mins for using max knox's wheel at epic?!Yep. I remember the incident but not the penalty.

Patchelicious Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 seems like none of the journalists knew the rule either until porte got docked 2mins. Didn't burry get 30mins for using max knox's wheel at epic?!That begs the question of support Teams at Epic, technically aren't they separate teams?
Pure Savage Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 If contador or aru has a small fall sky should rush over and change front wheels, ha ha ha would be hilarious to watch.
Jaco-fiets Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 That begs the question of support Teams at Epic, technically aren't they separate teams?Valid point!
Jaco-fiets Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Think Clarke knew about the rule. Perhaps Porte stooped his sister/mother and this was his way to get him back...........
