I was banned for a "lol" once. Some rider prone to crashing had crashed another time so only commented with a lol, meant to be like it's do bad you can just laugh about it.

Ok, but how's anybody supposed to read your mind regarding what you actually mean with a comment that on the surface is pretty distasteful?

True, hard to know. I just got used to replying "lol" almost exclusively when smth questionable happened, so it didn't cross my mind that somebody could actually take it in a completely different way, lol

To prove he doesn't care about the jersey.
He could have just stayed in the break rolling through at the slow pace they were going and picked up 9 points without having to sprint instead of sprinting for 1 point - conclusive proof that he doesn't care about the jersey

Imagine being the idiot who lets their dog run into the platoon of the GdI, and to top it off, it causes a crash that includes the world champion who is also one of the race favorites.

Aren't there a lot of stray dogs in Southern Italy?

Or did Tiberi see to that?

This stage looks like its a recipe for a crash. Wet, flat, too many sprinters and with the earlier part not being raced hard, teams are full of energy.😟

How are there too many sprinters in this race?

Some people just see problems everywhere, I guess.
