It's called sportsmanship, it doesn't always happen, but it's good that it happened on a day like yesterday.

Bye Bye Bicycle said:Bouhanni should better concentrate his powers on the part of the journey before the finishing line (e.g. get some positioning skills), not on theatralic fist-clinching after getting beaten again. I see here too much aggressiveness, too little race intelligence. Not my type of rider at all.
Waterloo Sunrise said:Yep, really quite difficult to explain those opinions without concluding they're coloured by who was involved.
This was a completely irrelevant GC stage where you can't make a single argument for pushing on other than deliberately capitalising on misfortune which has nothing to do with racing. Teams don't attack punctures happening away from the finish on flat irrelevant stages, and it would be a very poor thing if they did.
So now I am up front inside 30km to go champing at the bit to crank up the tempo a little and behind is a big crash. Immediately our green machine locomotive Fabio Sabatini came up and pulled me off and told the other teams to stop riding, its not a situation you use to your advantage as it will certainly come back and bite you on the **** one day when you have a troubled moment in the race. For the next 10km it was a bit of a stale mate as around 140 riders found there way back to front.

I'd be trolling if I would've said Guardini.King Of The Wolds said:First rule of trolling - you have to make people think that you really believe what you're saying and that it's a, even only slightly, believable stand point. Frankly, you, of all people, should know this.

140 riders stuck behind, including Nibali, so posters trying to colour it as Sky getting special treatment is frankly laughable anyway.
