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.
Right! That's rich. So when I call someone out for trolling I get a ban and when another does it's cool and kosher. Why doesn't this surprise me around here?
Vino buying a win? Seriously? At the Olympics! Bahahaha. Not a chance. Uran was an idiot, thats what. Sky choked the whole race. Couldn't even get a sprint right, in a massive street that was dead straight. People should be asking whether people actually gave a toss. Horrible course, horrible camera work and a lack of enthusiasm from many teams.
Vino buying the win! Yeah, he'd have to have paid the entire front group. Spain had 3 men and didn't chase. How many did the Belgians have? Norway? Had Cancellara not fallen, the finale would arguably have had him making a move. Boring course, boring race, designed by boring Brits to give a boring British team a win and they choked. Serves them right. Everyone didn't want them to win. Vino and Uran did the right thing at the right time from the right position. Following group only had to chase. They didn't. Uran only had to watch Vino, he didn't.
A more appropriate thread could entail the favourite recreational drug of Columbia and whether Uran was thinking about it at the time. Dumbest loss I've seen in a long time and the funniest. Thanks Uran. Oh and thank you Great Britain for the laughs. Heck it's not like Eisel was driving for the GB team was it?
Thank God the women will actually race. Will be interesting. Men? A lot don't care. Medals? You don't buy an Olympic Gold. Not at that pace. They can't speak FFS. If Uran was hoping Vino would pay him off...yeah, not likely. That pace, you can't talk and pedal simultaneously. Use your brain next time.
