SwissVan Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I wonder what was it with Tony Martin trying to barge Luke Rowe off the road?I dunno, Red Bull moment that allowed the commissaries an opportunity to weaken teams challenging a Frenchie on podium in Paris. Was it really worthy of an expulsion that could potentially affect the outcome of the race?
EvanB Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 They were idiotic carrying on like that in the bunch, they could have crashed and injured other riders

SwissVan Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Did you watch the whole video or just the bit of what happened on the side of the road...Yes, no one was hurt or even fell off compare it to something dangerous: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEQ7LwXQWC0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BPybqwcFSbc

Is it harsh.. yep, but they were at fault... maybe they will plead and come to an agreement to be let back in..but doesn't change the fact thay it was beyond stupid to act thay way.
Gen Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Well the two of them are very very sorry and accept responsibility for what happened..tempers flared they had a fight and unfortunately unless the UCI somehow are kind and reverse their decision they will have to accept it. Even made a sorry video together. https://twitter.com/JumboVismaRoad/status/1154111156128309248?s=09

The punishment exceeds the crime. I’m willing to bet that if it was a quickstep and FDJ rider the punishment would have been a few slaps with cooked spaghetti
dsw Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Seems as if there might be an appeal from both Teams. Whatever the outcome it is going to be controversial.

Whatever the outcome it is going to be controversial.Depending on on which ruling that was made an appeal may not be possible. And if the fine is more than a certain amount. They can plead maybe.. but it's a dangerous thing to do if you have booted riders before for similar incidents ..next time it may be someone people don't like and then he gets to stay in the race..like Moscon he may just have free reign if they let them back in [emoji6]
Christie Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 They gave the organizers a great opportunity to reduce the resources of the teams fighting to get JA out of the yellow.
