Cool comments by Andy. It's a race after all. Now they can all race again tomorrow and the next day and the next....and on Sunday there'll be a winner.

 

If this unwritten "waiting rule" ocurred all the time, then they may as well decide before the tour who's the winner and then ride with him in the front all the way. And if that was the case it would probably be Contador, coz he was the favourite coming into the tour.

 

At the end of the day it's about entertainment and excitement.....today was both. That's why we will all watch the next few days to see what happens.

 

Vive Le Tour !!!

how true

 

 

"The ethical code of pro cycling is a real mind-bender. More people seem to bother getting enraged by perceived etiquette breach than doping."

Maybe that's because they're all doping so can't point fingers, but only a few are in a position to breach the etiquette rules

What a moronic prick

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Ag please, they are all big boys now, they dont need to cry on their mothers shoulders, sometimes lucks on your side sometimes not, they know that as well as anyone.

 

Yes, its controversial, but only in the media, 'Berto's not there to make friends, its a race after all, and who is to say Andy would have waited.?

 

I say 'Berto saw an opportunity and took it, and lets not forget so did Menchov and Sammy, theres no race rule that says he or any of them had to wait so why should they, tomorrow 'Berto could flat, fall, have a mechanical, anything can happen, the cards fell poorly for Andy today sure, thats life, the sun will come up tomorrow and he will battle on.

All I can say is "COME ON ANDY...KICK SOME ASS!!"

What AC did today was clearly legal but definitely not a sign of good sportsmanship. The only reason why he would react in this manner in my opinion is if he really felt threatened by Andy. If he had real belief in his ability to make up the 30 sec difference over the remaining stages including the TT where he has a clear advantage he would never have reacted the way he did today.

 

In some sports there are unwritten rules like football when someone gets injured seriously, players generally kick the ball imto touch. I am not sure if such an unwritten code exists in cycling, however AC's actions today have definitely not endeared himself to the cycling fraternity today.
