Don't know why people get so concerned about things like this tbh.
You already get severely screwed when you get a random puncture, I don't see any reason why you should screw them over further. Just makes zero sense to me.

Stupid referee
What cheating lol?
You think that Grand Tours should be decided by mechanicals?
The cheating of drifting in the slipstream of the team car, the "oh hang on to the car, we have to fix something on your bike...", or the sticky bottles. You take your pick.

No he couldn't cause guys like Kittel are getting dropped on the hill so the team cars have to stay behind a bit further because of that.
