And the Lepheimer comment was really funny. :D

I got a mod warning for it. Apparently someone took it as a doping comment, which just boggles my mind and shatters the (admittedly very little) faith I had in any intelligence being present around here.

Here I was thinking it was incredibly obvious that I'm talking about Majka not attacking, not doing any work, not taking a single pull and following wheels the entire way even if it's tactically dumb, just as Leipheimer was known for. Here I was thinking even a child would see that.

But nope. Doping reference, somehow. I should know by now that if I say "Good morning" someone will complain it's a doping reference.

Jesus christ some people... (and I mean whoever reported it, not the mod just doing his job)
Yeah, though I got your Majka-wheelsucker "secret message" after a minute of wondering "what is he talking about?", there are probably many people on here who are too young to follow cycling in Levi's era, or who simply see Majka as an exciting attacking rider... But a mod not recognising that is surprising, hope they accepted your explanation.
Please forgive them.

I did get the meaning (and silently giggled), but then i'm old enough to remember the Leipheimer. There are young guys around nowadays, who don't even know what a Leipheimer is.

I laughed when I saw it. Didn't know who finished in that position, checked and saw it was Majka, and then proceeded to laugh some more. It was clever but dumb you got a warning. :eek:
