That was the plan. He said the same in his post-race interview

I don't believe it for a second

And if that actually was the plan, Red Bull DS should be ashamed of himself.

We almost witnessed a bird attack, but this bird from Mallorca doesn't have the aim of Australian birds.

Australian wildlife in general...
The kangaroos also got in on the action.

Nor that of (Australian) kangaroos.

Just checked TNT to see when the Mallorca race was starting

*** sake

I tuned in just in time for the final stretch which was completely flat, not the way I had wanted to wake up.

Why tf would Marit do the leadout? No way anyone believed that.

Because Magagnotti will be the next Petacchi

I think they just wanted to give him a chance. He had 14 wins and 6 podiums last year. He was probably faster at winter camp too

I had to rewind because I had missed the Mallorca birds part, yeah, that was pretty tame. Civilized almost, the birds had kept their distance.

I mean maybe, but then you don't fly over Marit for that. That's weird.

Lack of respect imo. I'm happy marit didn't listen then

Marit had one pro win before today.

It wasn't Cavendish they asked to lead out.
