So a Billionare who owns his team. Is not allowed to comment on his riders? I get the whole "Praise in public, Scold in private". But he was right about Berto last year. As big a fan of Conta as I'am. He was outworked last year by SKY. And he still was a top 5. And he knew it after the tour. His comments about his off season this year have shown that.
This is exactly the point, Tinkov is out of line to insult Contador in a public setting. If you have an issue with someone you don't go on facebook or twitter and whine about them. You address them directly and talk it out with them.
Tinkov's problem last year was he spent the entire year talking about how Contador would beat Froome at the Tour (even though it was obvious to everyone he wouldn't). Then when he doesn't (like anyone with a brain knew he wouldn't). Tinkov reverses direction and starts insulting him. He was out of line to do this.
The hole beating a dog named FROOME thing. He is RUSSIAN! He is breaking your balls! Lighten up! The Wiggo thing on Twitter today. Is humor!! Tweak SKY! Have Fun doing what your passion is! I applaud him!
Being Russian gives him permission to make those kind of jokes?
I realize it was humor, but not all humor is all in good fun. Good for you that you thought it was funny, I didn't. I found it to be unfunny, immature, and just plain stupid to be perfectly honest.
