BeeT Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 This is just a statement and I won't go into names... With regards to the Telkom Sattelite mountain bike race, when you sit behind someone the entire race and let him do all the work, you don't sprint him for the line... I would have thought professional riders know this...
Guest Agteros Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 If you earn your money from cycling... well all is fair in love and war I'd say. Question: Why did you stay in front all the time? Why not pull over, slow down and fall in behind him
Willehond Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Better not tell Cavendish about that. He's a MAJOR wheelsucker!!!
Gnarly Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Why? That's racing. There is no remarks column.Gnarly2009-10-25 11:23:50
Daxiet Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 In the Telkom MTB race there weren't many sections that would have catered for effective slip streaming. Just a thought.Daxiet2009-10-25 11:22:04
Canaris Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 racing cyclist have their own ethics. ?MTB is a bit more laid back. ?Obviously if you let someone sit on your wheel the whole race, you are either his lead out man or a really naive racer. ?Put it into your lessons learnt file, and get the whel sucker to work next time.
downhilldemon Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 hey BeeT, there is nothing wrong with that - it's a race and you have to be cleaver. if you don't like it, then slow down, let him past and stick on his wheel, or up the pace and get away from him
kori Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 have to agree, if it is proffesional 1st one over the line wins,
HappyMartin Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 If he isw sitting on your wheel you dead wheel him and force him past or you hit him on hills and difficult sections. Its racing and that is just how it is.
Tumbleweed Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 If he isw sitting on your wheel you dead wheel him and force him past or you hit him on hills and difficult sections. Its racing and that is just how it is. or even brake test him?it's risky, but he'll he'll think twice the next time!

With regards to the Telkom Sattelite mountain bike?race' date=' when you sit behind someone the entire race and let him do all the work, you don't sprint him for the line... I would have thought professional riders know this...[/quote'] Why didnt you ride away from him uphill? Did he sprint you for 1st place or 139th place?
Edition 507 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 It is not a lack of ethics from the wheel sucker, it is a lack of brains from the wheel sucked
kosmonooit Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Got something to do with this?http://www.cyclingnews.co.za/pages/Default.asp?More=Evans%20does%20the%20Satellite%20double!&FeatureID=3608&SectionID=3
