Paris-Nice 2012 - Stage 7: Sisteron - Nice, 219.5 km

[screaming fist]

No moto = they either hit the concrete pillar or a tree.

Looked like a very good move by the moto.

Without a moto they would have run into the riders that had crashed before (or mechanical?).

I miss what happend to Levi. Did a moto hit him?

No, 2 riders from OPQS crashed and one other plus Levi run into them and crashed into the motorbike. Not motorbike's fault

No, all of OPQS crashed into a moto.

De Gendt might as well start his victory salute.

No, the whole team underestimated a corner and would have crashed into a concrete pillar if it wasn't for a motor who was already standing there

 

[Moviefan1203]

I beg to differ

No one should be happy to see some crash. That's never the way to want someone to potentially lose a race.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I get really upset when I read posts like this. No one deserves to crash.

leipheimer deserves whatever to make him unable to compete in races

Look at who posted it.
He will probably get banned any time soon again anyways. Don't worry.

Nah... Blind corner, Lampre guy on the ground with a moto behind him to protect. OPQS take a horrible line around the corner right into the bike. I think Devenyns was the one that fell first, and then it was a domino. Looks like they were gonna fly off the road into the trees if not for that moto though

 

[superconfex]

If Marcus backstead says they would've decked anyway with that line, then it OPQ fault as far as i'm concern

Nice sportsmanship from Movistar today anyway.

 

[vladimir]

Movistar, you can quit the backstabbin' now. Just take it easy to the finish.

Backstabbing??
There has been too much waiting for people who falls behind over the past few years. This is racing, not some kind of charity event.

Not happy to see him crash. Happy to see him fail. There

 

[Publicus]

Doesn't really matter what line they take. There shouldn't be bikes on the other side of a blind corner.

Regardless of whether the moto should have been there, they were going to crash.

 

[Panda Claws]

I don't get how anyone can be happy about a cyclist crashing. Whether you hate him or not.

 

[Kwibus]

See, now he is making sure he gets banned.
People who act this ridiculous shouldn't be here.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Valverde must have plans to go for bonus seconds at the end.

Oh yeah, why bother racing. Everything should be decided in the time trial. Races should not be won on downhills anyway, right???

Oh, this is racing? I thought it was a bunch of guys taking a day off 11 minutes behind the guy they gifted the stage win to 150 km's ago.

Some people are just poor sports unfortunately. I don't like Valverde, but I don't want him to crash. I wouldn't wish on any rider, past or present.

 

[shalgo]

Quite disgusting to see so many people here celebrating a crash.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

No matter how much a cyclist is disliked, crashes should NEVER be celebrated.

You know what's bad about the ignore button? You can see other people quote his posts and you also see that he posts, just not what he posts.
So I found it rather useless.
