Tinkov did drop a hint or two about that.

Deignan got punched in the face by Rodríguez. we know it
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A RIDER PUNCHING ANOTHER RIDER
but it looks like he must just blame himself: he rides for Sky, he deserves to be punched :rolleyes:

Flaco @JonetHernandez
It doesn't matter if you're professional or not. If someone split your lip open and you don't do anything right then. You're coward!


Flaco @JonetHernandez
The only reason Deignan said anything about Rodriguez two days later is because the expulsion of Brambilla and Rovny. Too late for crying.


Fück the hypocrisy @Digger_forum
He goes apeh**** over a guy hitting someone but doping is cool. What a ****ed up sport.


Fück the hypocrisy @Digger_forum
Pete kennaugh calling rod a lying ***...can open worms everywhere. Has kennaugh ever called a doper a lying ***?

I thought that incident happened on the same state as the Brambilla-Rovny fight, and Deignan mentioned it right after the state... :confused:

Wtf he rides for Sky and this is a reason to be punched:confused:
Purito should be out,he's luck was that the incident was not caught by cameras.I think Deignan reaction was very good that he doesn't reacted like Brambilla/Rovny.

I was joking. if he were still racing for UHC (or any other team) maybe we'd see someone blaming Rodríguez, not him and his team mates defending him

He's team doesn't mater,people should blame Purito,because he's action is very dangerous,you don't fight while you are riding a bike.He should have asked Deignan to have a boxing match after the stage,it would have been much safer and we have seen it on Youtube with a bit of luck:D

Posted in today's stage thread but probably should be here instead to save derailing that thread even further:

"I just find it hard to believe Purito would deliberately punch someone. If he was that aggressive he'd not have been able to resist murdering Valverde by now... "

No, the Purito punch was on the stage before the boxing match.

I didn't used to mind Purito, but if that is true then the guy is a total ****. You don't just accidently throw a punch and split someones lip. Maybe he is getting all angry because it's another GT he won't be winning. He deserves nothing from this race.

Sure you can... if you are aiming for the nose. :p

Purito is top 3-4 on GC at that point. Deignan is a domestique. Doms have no business coming in trying to take a GC man's line on a descent and exchanging elbows. Purito was right to defend himself. Deignan can **** off.
