Wow, I woke up this morning to find that Tejay had been reinstated as leader at TOC. I'm probably more of a TJ fan than most on the forum, but that is a strange decision by the governing body.
The Cycling News forum is looking to add some volunteer moderators with Red Rick's recent retirement. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

wheresmybrakes said:I wouldn't accept the judges decision and take the time loss if I knew it was outside the 3k marker. This is wrong. If TJ or his team complained to the judges, they're as bad as the judges.

This Charming Man said:Mr. Le Fevre, although a great promoter, and coach has no say here. Although I believe rules are rules, in this case the correct decision was made. The crash around the 3km mark hampered TJs catch. On the otherhand Moscon did not have a chance in hades, and benefitted from the judges decision.
If you believe rules are rules then you would not think of this outcome as a correct decision. The two points of view are, logically, mutually exclusive.This Charming Man said:Mr. Le Fevre, although a great promoter, and coach has no say here.

He's getting flak from about 5 posters on a cycling forum (maybe more elsewhere on the web). People on the roadside will be screaming his name and happy he's in the jersey still. I'm sure he'll be fine.
I don’t see that as incompetence by the organizers. Didn’t we have the reverse situation in one of the Classics this year where the women were catching up to the men and the women had to be delayed? Just an element of racing on public roads and the nature of rolling road closures within a limited time frame.Lequack said:More incompetence from the race organizers:

The men are more than 30 minutes ahead of the fastest predicted schedule, and organisers are afraid they'll run into the women's race. The women's finish is scheduled for 2:56pm local time, with the men coming in at 3:43pm. But at their current clip, they're on track to finish just minutes after the women.
