This wouldn't be a problem if Farrar were faster
Whatever, dean hooked... he never hooked... head butting is normal... head butting is outrageous. You can argue all day (2 days, in fact) but the fact is that Farrar doesn't have it. You can hate on HTC all day and he still won't. Why was there any space between Farrar and Cav for Renshaw to come over into? Farrar should have been right on Cav's wheel. He wasn't cause he's too slow for Cav. He could still have won too because Cav went from so far out but, wah-wah, Renshaw blocked him. After every sprint stage in post race interviews someone says, "I could not do better because I got blocked." they usually say this in a totally flat voice devoid of emotion because it is so common and there's nothing to be done about it. Stop crying, be faster.
Renshaw was dumb, though. throwing his head around like that was like screaming, "Please penalize me!" Just push with your head man!
All you hysterical types who say, "Renshaw could really have hurt twenty guys." Some nut job even mentioned that someone could have been killed. Sure, they could... in every single sprint, especially in the tour because the stakes are so high, anything could happen. But I just watched five sprints on youtube from five different races and in every one people were swerving all over the place. In every one it was miracle no one was hurt. It's never gonna look, or be, safe.
Incidentally, the only person in the whole sequence who looks wobbly is farrar when he takes his hand off to touch Renshaw. Which is not allowed.
