_David_ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Gerald Ciolek 13h 13 hours ago:I guess everything doesn't always go your way. Sad I couldn't get a result, the team was super. And I feel sorry for the @met_helmets Gerald Ciolek 13h 13 hours ago:U can help me win next year as apology? “PhilippeGilbert:Feel sorry for the crash & for the guys who came down with me.Sport can b cruel" Edited March 23, 2015 by David Truter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted March 23, 2015 Share The way he chucks that helmet down is not acceptable im sorry!Nor is the way he handles that bike without its back wheel!Sorry, but I don't get this at all. The guy is in the front bunch after 230-odd kms of racing, has a chance to contest the sprint in one of the biggest one day races in the calendar. Is likely under immense pressure from his employers to deliver a result, as is pumped full of adrenaline at that moment, and comes down from someone else stuffing up. You telling me you wouldn't have lost your **** too?? This is cycling, not cricket. I think there's little room for gentlemanly gestures.

SwissVan Posted March 23, 2015 Share Wonder what Boassen Hagen could have done if he had Ciolek as a lead-out man in the final 500m? I wonder what the planet would be like if people were all the same and never expressed their emotions... Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted March 23, 2015 Share The meek shall inherit the earth - if that's ok with everyone else... If I'd ridden 290km in the cold and rain - dragged my semi sprinters body over a few koppies only to be taken down 3km from the finish when I was in with a good shout I'd also throw my toys a little. Cmon man - he threw his helmet down - it's not like he boned a spectators dog. A bit more empathy and a little less judgement might make the world a better place! _David_, Jackson123, FlyingScot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted March 23, 2015 Share You see him first make sure he got his shades off before he threw his helmet. Must really love those shades - maybe they're his lucky shades . _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted March 23, 2015 Share You see him first make sure he got his shades off before he threw his helmet. Must really love those shades - maybe they're his lucky shades .Maybe he did a quick calculation and decided to destroy the cheapest. After all, he will pay for it. Tennis players get a penalty for racket abuse... such behaviour in cycling should also be punished. And I don't just talk about this incident, but in general. To be honest, saw far worst in the past. I still get nightmares from mister Contador throuing his Spez on the tarmac bouncing 2 meters high.....eish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
