Vetplant Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Boy oh boy, we are going to see some suffering today! Just for the fun of it, let's put some moisture down on the roads...

Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 OK... me Lady, in view of new evidence then Rowe at least deserves punishment. Maybe they should add some weight (bricks) to the riders bikes instead of expulsionForce then to ride at the back of the peloton for the next 3 stages not allowed to help their team... [emoji6]

Maybe they should add some weight (bricks) to the riders bikes instead of expulsionNo ways Swiss that's way to easy for them. A far better punishment would've been to have them start an hour after the peloton with no grace period wrt the cut off time. Especially now that Hell week starts today!
bertusras Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Well someone was kind enough to go review the footage https://twitter.com/ebbenieuweboer/status/1154081605432020994?s=19 https://twitter.com/ebbenieuweboer/status/1154109460102733824?s=19 https://twitter.com/ebbenieuweboer/status/1154109109056069632?s=19 Ah, but in this video it looks like Jumbo is running Thomas off the road first right at the beginning of the clip?
Eddie Stafford Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Two years ago, my son and I was fortunate to cycle in France and as part of the trip we rode offroad single track from the top of Col du Galibier all the way down to La Selle-Les Alpes where we were staying and the cycle school is situated. Today they will be going up!

Territorial scuffle that exploded into unsavoury actions from 2 riders that should be better than that.
Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 And onto a feel good story https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OQmpdIq6M/?igshid=1qnkz9gtkgl9b https://www.instagram.com/p/B0VBJaMohFS/?igshid=6us5k826ddfk
Rudi Pollard Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 When I first read the story I really thought that the punishment is way to severe for a bit of handbags being thrown. But after seeing all the videos emerging on twitter there was clearly more going on between the two teams. Both guys acted inappropriately and caused danger to other competitors and even fans next to the road. They deserve to be kicked off the race!
Jewbacca Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 It's a pity this sort of rubbish behaviour is overshadowing what is destined to be the start of 3 days of proper do or die racing. All this conjecture points to illustrate why we, as a society, are failing. People firmly arguing opinion when they don't know the facts. Needless to add that most people are arguing against the disciplinary action handed out by an elected panel with accepted and elected authority. If you do the crime, you do the time. Unfortunately consequence for ones actions seems to now be 100% debatable. People feel they can get away with anything and when sanctions are imposed, 5 million people are up in arms on socials. Absolute power to the people has had Trump and Boris elected into 2 of the most powerful seats on the globe. Somethings gotta give eventually
Vetplant Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Alex Dowsett @alexdowsett · 35m Tony and Luke should’ve really joint won the “most combatitive rider” for yesterday.
Gandalf Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I liked Kruijswijks response in this https://nos.nl/tour/artikel/2294931-jury-uci-zet-martin-en-rowe-uit-tour-de-france.html
Frosty Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Meanwhile, Froomie: https://twitter.com/chrisfroome/status/1153983012515848194 https://twitter.com/i/status/1153983012515848194 Many people disliked him just because of his dominance methinks. Strongs on the recovery boet.I’ll just keep my comments to myself. How long back was the crash? About 6 weeks?
Slowbee Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Ah, but in this video it looks like Jumbo is running Thomas off the road first right at the beginning of the clip? Is this the correct summary of events? Inneos were trying to move up the inside and there was just no space. Thomas backs off early - but Rowe (??) runs out of space ... pulls a Sagan and makes some space, upsetting a few people (Martin included). Martin then pulls a Prince Nazeem, Rowe then tries to pull a Vettel ... which all results in a Red Card for both.
