Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Share 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...

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 Share 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 Share 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! Duane_Bosch, babse, JohanDiv and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Territorial scuffle that exploded into unsavoury actions from 2 riders that should be better than that. Edited July 25, 2019 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted July 25, 2019 Share 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 Share 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.

Slowbee Posted July 25, 2019 Share 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. Gen and ScottCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
