Cervelo team manager - Sunstroke?

Yeah, that's a smart comment. How about "all balls, no job next year"?

It's not like is has never happened before.

It was a stupid strategy, Pawels could win the stage and Sastre would keep his position, think better for the next season Pawels...

The business with Pauwels yesterday only goes to show that cycling would benefit greatly if radios were banned

Sure radios? He was told to wait. He did not wait. Team car then came up beside him and told him again to wait. By this time Sartre was in no more danger and Most of the stage had played.
It was a huge tactical error on the DS's part and the radio was not plugged in when Pawels was told to wait the first time. He was told from the window of a car when he obeyed.
Van Poppel might have gotten nervous and made a panic call.

By the way... This reminds of a story from the Tour de France in 1990 which always is told on Norwegian television during the TdF. Atle Kvålsvoll, Hushovd's coach, was on team Z with Greg LeMond. On stage 17, Kvålsvoll and a team mate were in a break, looking good for a stage win. Then LeMond punctured on a descent in the peloton, the result being that his two team mates had to stop riding, so they could help LeMond back to the peloton.

Yes except that was tactically correct. This is tactically inept or there was a deal made.

I agree with you
