Konaman Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 OR would you go for the jugular vein and leave the opponent for dead? http://kevinevansracing.blogspot.com/2010/01/mtn-barberton-ultra-marathon-2.html read the whole storyFrom his blog The final action between Burry and I came in the final kilometer when afun rider crashed Burry into the pavement! At this stage I immediatelysat up and waited for him, it wouldn?t have felt right to attacksomeone under those circumstances, and to have a fair sprint with himas I?m sure he?d have done the same for me.
milky4130 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Since it was not a fight for 1st place I would've carried on.
Tumbleweed Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 nice sporting gesture from evans. world apart from last year's debacle.
nickc Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I agree with Holy, as first place was already done and dusted, I think what Kevin did was cool.
Drinks@Brawn Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 nice sporting gesture from evans. EXCELLENT.
Trubie Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Respect to Kevin. True sportsman. or did he not want bad publicity after last year? whatever the real reason was its a great gesture - well done Kevin
HappyMartin Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 It was the right thing to do. Even Ulrich waited for LA on the tour after a crash. Well done to Kevin
JasonW Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Clearly the ethical thing to do.? In any event, why make an enemy out of a fellow competitor?
Tumbleweed Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 It was the right thing to do. Even Ulrich waited for LA on the tour after a crash. Well done to Kevin but didn't lance bleat much later that he didn't?

Tumbleweed Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 was looking around for anything from burry, but http://burrystander.typepad.com/on_the_road_with_burry_st/ hasn't been updated for quite some time.

It is in the nature of the dog to bite and pointless to rail against it. but i also seem to remember that ullrich didn't help matters much when claimed that he never saw armstrong go down.
Bat-ass Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 It was the right thing to do. Even Ulrich waited for LA on the tour after a crash. Well done to Kevin but didn't lance bleat much later that he didn't? No.... Lance did express his appreciation after the stage, and reminded everyone that he had waited for Jan on a decent when Jan went down the bank the year before... Either that year or the following year, on a mountain top finish (penultimate stage) lance and jan crested the climb together, lance securing tour win. Lance let jan go infront of him, which gave jan enough bonus seconds to ensure he was second overall. as jan crossed the line he put his hand back to lance thanking him.... Damn i miss those Armstrong / ullrich battles!!!!
