I can't believe they let the cars drive up through the peloton.. I say put the DS on motorbikes (and let them have their tvs back but only as long as its at least 60cm screen).

Anyone notice that there have been 2 grand tours with Lance this year and 2 rider protests? I blame captain america

I'm completely joking about it being 100 percent Lance's fault, but I do believe he was unhappy with the situation. I think astana is the most powerful team and Johan Bruneeyl lead the protest from the teams. I don't think it is a stretch to imagine that Johan stuck it out there because lance was complaining.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:I have a cold. I also blame captain america. One man doesn't make a "rider protest".
PS. i don't even like LA. jus't saying...
dimspace said:i was unsure about the racing thing, i do think cars zipping in and out of the pelaton is dangerous and i remember many crashes years ago involving support vehicles, then again tactically they obviously effect the race because team orders are constantly going through telling when to attack etc...

It is kind of weird. I respect these guys so much for the effor they put out over the 3 weeks. I did a 6 hour ride on Saturday and there is no way in hell I could have gone and done it again the next day and believe me my effort was much lower than theirs.Frank71 said:If the parties reached a compromise, isn't it bad faith from the riders to still protest?![]()
