If you have a problem with another rider just talk to him, don’t put everyone at risk Danger Dassie 1
Jewbacca Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 What did I just watch?! Yoh. If someone did that to me or near me in a group I would be putting up my dukes. That is so dumb. Beyond dumb. Danger Dassie and DieselnDust 2

Be lekker ekse... a guy swerved in front of us, possibly wasn’t the first time… the idiot went and pushed him (hard enough for the whole peleton behind reacting to it). Then a few of us yelled at them to stop that ***. At winelands a 17yo got punched in the finish then after the finish the guy (a vet) was waiting for him and punched him again. Some people should really do something else if riding their bikes puts them in this kind of mood… maybe skydiving without a parachute..

Dicky DQ Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I thought he was being crowded and was just making space for himself. Maybe the push was just to hard. I works very well if you just gently move the person out of the way. Not too much to see here.

Not too much to see here. what works is gently pushing a guy forward to make space for you (if you know there's room in front of him) or just touch him to ask him to please move. You do not push a guy in another guy, this is not okay Underachiever and Danger Dassie 2

His ott reaction put everyone else at risk. That's the extreme opposite of maybe too hard a push.

Clearly though this kind of push is the red mist of aggression and is massively dangerous. Hope you're not in 1B at ctct😀 Yyyy and Danger Dassie 2

OVERDRIVE Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 Seems opinions vary here…the gesticulating and loosing it at that point in the race surely not necessary though…
TNT1 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I assume this Paul bint is the AG2R/Citroen rider? WTF was he trying to poach the Bahrain rider's wheel? That looked like a pretty normal incident to me. Paul needs to grow up and learn some racing/bunch riding etiquette.
