I saw Rowe giving him a push at some point (bottom of HC climb I think) - I'm guessing that was not the incident in question?PremierAndrew said:Yates given a 10 second time penalty for a hand sling

So attack on the climb.PremierAndrew said:hrotha said:What a pathetic rider. He didn't even TRY to get on the podium. His strategy was "Maybe someone will crash?".
No, his strategy was 'let's make sure I don't crash and lose my white jersey + top 5'
True, but I think he has been on his limit for days now. Saying somebody has to attack lying on your sofa with a beer in your hand is a bit easy, isn't it? But knowing that Quintana was feeling completely ***, Yates should have tried something.hrotha said:What a pathetic rider. He didn't even TRY to get on the podium.

Then go on the descent after all. The risk/reward ratio is insanely in favour of attacking when you're trying to get on the podium.PremierAndrew said:hrotha said:So attack on the climb.PremierAndrew said:hrotha said:What a pathetic rider.

Maybe he was on the limit on the climb. He struggled to respond to the attack on the kick up to the line as well
