Did Vino pay for this victory?

Did Uran receive some money?

I don't see where this is trolling. Bike races have historically been bought and paid for, and there was a lot of discussion at the end of the race, and a very odd maneuver by Uran at the end.

Not saying it was paid for, but the question is legit.

Apparently people are really upset that Vino won.

Let's see when did Vino bribe Uran? Start of the race? Because both needed to be in a break. Just before Uran jumped?

Did they work it out where Uran would turn around and look back and Vino would jump?

You could say the same thing about Kolobnev at LBL.

Who does he think he is?

I don't even know where his "god forgotten -stan" ( Bruyneel (c)) is!

Some kind of terroristland. Go back to your camels, leave white people's sport to white people.

I think that it is quite possible that Vino bought this. Never seen anything like what Uran did.

I'm not upset, I was cheering for Vino actually. That doesn't mean someone can't critically watch a race and have some doubts about the fairness.
 
In terms of pointless speculation i would say that my opionion is the same as the Kolobnev incident. You are about to be in a two up sprint against someone who is a better sprinter than you. You also are completely spent and dont feel you have anything left in the tank to even be competitive in the sprint. The other rider offers you a large bribe to throw the race. What would you do?

How about Cancellara riding head first into the barrier?
