Re: Re:
No, rider A should have anticipated the motorcycle before it hit. Also riding so close to a ravine is obviously dicing with danger and depending on how deep that ravine is could depend if he could climb out in time and finishing the race before the time cut off. As for breaking his chain, should have kept it oiled. Not his fault his DS needed a pee break which resulted in his car being too far behind for his bike replacement and even more unlucky that Gerrans was waiting to pounce from behind the group of 20 riders to win the race.
I still think Contador will win this overall race tomorrow and if he does he will deserve it, unless Valverde happens to get hit by a motorcycle and crashes into a ravine..............

So in your opinion if rider A attacks with 100km to go and builds a 5 minute advantage on his own, gets hit by a motorcycle and crashes into a ravine, climbs out, continues, breaks his chain, has to wait two minutes before he gets a new bike, gets caught 50 meters before the line by rider B, who just sat on the back of a group of 20 riders for the entire race, rider A didn't deserve the win?
