olffie1 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Team Sky's decision to visciously attack after the neutral zone was nothing short of being disgraceful in todays stage. Chris Froome is my selected rider to win the Tour, but one wonders what Team Sky would have said if others teams had attacked Chris if he had fallen like Fabian Cancellara!!!!!!

Pure Savage Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 wa wa wa... Last year when Froome/Contador went down did Nibali pull over and have a coffee? Nope. Man up, cup of concrete, this is road cycling not soccer.

Didnt Astana attack in a similar way at Giro too?

Oxter Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 And they where the only team that attacked???No other team was riding behind the team sky member...drink a chill pill
Pure Savage Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What about FDJ and Cofidis that pushed there way up over the pavements to the front of the peleton while neutralisation was called, pushing themselves to the front?
Wayne Potgieter Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Olffie1...dont take offence.... Keep posting about the tour... The hub is like okes sitting around a braai discussing there favourite rugby games/teams/pplayers. We all disagree...and thats ok....
Patchelicious Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What about FDJ and Cofidis that pushed there way up over the pavements to the front of the peleton while neutralisation was called, pushing themselves to the front?Yeah but they are French
Bianchisti Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Didnt Astana attack in a similar way at Giro too?Yep. And I remember Froome tweeting that Astana shouldve waited.
olffie1 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Um... Its a race? That may be so but there are unwritten rules which you obviously know nothing about........never attack the Yellow Jersey when he is on the deck!

Man up, cup of concrete, this is road cycling not soccer. Hey Buck, I come from a harder school than soccer or road racing.......I am a green and gold track sprinter......and believe me there are unwritten laws.....go and look back in the archives Armstrong versus Ulrich.....fierce rivalry but when Armstrong fell Ulrich waited......that is sportsmanship at the Professional level not tit for tat.
the nerd Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 That may be so but there are unwritten rules which you obviously know nothing about........never attack the Yellow Jersey when he is on the deck!The race was resumed and the riders continued. Here is a question, if he had fallen and not been able to resume the race would everyone just go home? You also should not assume, I am sure many people on this forum and others like it are well versed in the written and unwritten rules of cycling.
Sharkie 2 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 That may be so but there are unwritten rules which you obviously know nothing about........never attack the Yellow Jersey when he is on the deck!He was on his bike? Fabian Cancellara I mean? Thus he made the decision to race further, were they now supposed to pussy foot around until the end?
