If I had to make the case for Bauke it would be as follows : "Chris, Ritchie and I crashed and all lost time to our competitors.

Chris and Ritchie got credited for the time they lost. Which is fair as they lost time due to no fault of their own but of the organisers.

I ALSO lost time to MY opposition, those racing for a podium position, probably not the the top step.

I was NOT given any credit for the time I lost,allowing these riders to open a gap on me.

If Chris and Ritchie are given credit, so should I. It should be the time between crashing and getting going again.

And my Friday productivity just took a massive dip  :whistling:

My boss is away the whole week, Japan or somewhere far, so the designated "key work objectives" for this week was finished as soon as possible and the rest of the time used on TDF. Service will resume to normal in August...oooh look, Olympics.... :whistling:

Surely some of the other riders saw this. Why was there no complaint lodged with the Commissar?

That back wheel is not turning through that frame! Broken in TWO places. Seat and chain stay!

 

But if you're BM you say stuff like this in your race report:

 

"There were just 800 meters to go or so; it was not the time to think about [neutralizing the race]..."

Must be because the tow happened after the accident point, so organisors ignored that as times were taken earlier. Wow. think NQ is lucky for that decision. If not we could have ended up with him disqualified..

Maybe there was but it hasn't been made public, who knows...
