[TourOfSardinia]

I do not understand this 'tactic' by the other teams.

Fair play, to whoever's got yellow

 

[saunaking]

Rogla, back peloton waited, teammates helping, cars helping, that's the beauty of cycling boys and girls.
If you don't like it go join Velon and the saudis

Ineos riding for Hayter to win the stage.

Forum concussion protocol:
Check for concussion
Concussion symptoms: take out of race
No concussion symptoms: take out of race

The check for a concussion takes longer than the 10 seconds that the doctor spent on Rog.

 

[saunaking]

Are you joking? I can make 999 reasons why is not classy.

Ya i dunno, maybe. I'm just thinking of him waiting for Pog

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Are you kidding me. What happened?

 

[Elos Anjos]

Go ahead then, but please post it in the Vingegaard threat and not here.

Thread.

I dont know exactly if the crash was just bad kluck or if Roglic has responsability in mnore or less grade, but this is the correct for me, not really wait, but nobodu acelerate trying to take adventage. Roglic is going to pay the crash in some waym but now he has his options to win the race. If Quick step start to acelerate after the crash is legal, but is not polite-

Hope he is not bad....but it would be normal now if some teams acelerates in the climb once he come back and try to get bonus as well later...

Taxus you actually have great non-Froome takes! lol

If the race isn't exploding, you wait on the leader. It's a gentlemen's agreement.

It's something recent, back 'in the old days', pretty sure noone would wait. I understand they do this with punctures, crashes on the other hand, I wouldn't do it to be honest.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gall is also in the Roglic group.

Gall was probably still chasing after getting dropped in the TT two days ago.

 

[Netserk]

We didn't see the crash, only Rogla standing besides the road and hurt.

I've never liked it and is why I much prefer one day racing. For instance if the previous years RVV winner had a crash would the peloton slow pedal? No way.

Thread.

Well, your post did sound a bit like a threat

 

[AnotherArmChair]

He is back so INEOS go ahead and do whatever you were going to do ....pleeeeeaaaseeeee

 

[houtdffan]

looks like the peloton decided to neutralize the entire stage because Princess Roglic had a crash

There's no leader's jersey in a one-day race.

I think there should be some nuance to do it. A crash like this that likely wasn't his fault (and no, that's just a guess to make the point), the group should wait. Ride yourself into a ravine? Your fault. Ride on.

Depends. In many cases yes

Most of the forum is praising this behavior, specially in a stage where there is happening much...and if it happens is in this "climb".

 

[noob]

Mustasch it must be because of the mustasch

 

[red_flanders]

Taxus you actually have great non-Froome takes! lol

Except for the fact that it's totally wrong and the group absolutely waited...

 

[postmanhat]

It's not like the peleton were going anywhere, like now. They would have deliberately had to speed up to drop Roglic.

 

[Potomac]

The way the commentator is talking they can just stop racing now because Hayter is is the only one who can win the stage now.

 

[houtdffan]

this is ridiculous

peloton turning today into a field sprint stage. This should have been a small group sprint

 

[AnotherArmChair]

no one wants to attack for fear of being a bad rider and attacking the injured leader ?

C'mon Baulke do your thing
