wtf can't you get in your head? there was NO neutralisation on race radio.

Valverde is very proud of Quintana

I'm pretty sure that JV tweeted during Ronde 2011

Yeah, but jv is no ordinary ds.

What a poor #giro organization !
They said neutralized descend and Quintana attacked. Is there any fair play in cycling? #Mess #Scandal

So the DS cars didn't get message about neutralization. But media who has access to the #giro race radio did? It was definitely mentioned.

 

[Bumbibjörnen]

Come on what's the matter with the false information on twitter? As long as the riders got the right info.. or do they have twitter integrated into their SRM's?

 

[Arnout]

Lol the nearest the riders came to crashing is on nearly dry roads

 

[happychappy]

i smell controversy here.

an attempt to make an Italian sky rider get a stage win ????

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Again... the smell of irony.



I will wait for others to confirm that, thanks. One Team Car is not enough for me.

lol @ you thinking lotto team car is lying. EVERY team gets the same race radio in case you don't understand the basic principles of it

I don't get it. Even if they said "neutralized descend", why not get going when Movistar picks up the pace?

Problem is the amount of Twitter warriors. I love the internet and the fact that humanity has free access to raw information but the amount of idiots that are given a voice on Twitter is too damn high.

Lost power when they were 5kms from the top of the Stelvio, came back now


WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED

Beside the fact that it's funny listening to Tinkov wining about fair play... He could have a point if this is in fact correct..

because they were thinking the organization would make sure it comes all back together.

No Kirby we've the misfortune of having Rob Hatch instead...

 

[luckyboy]

Saxo-Tinkoff twitter saying neutralisation news wasn't brought to all team cars

 

[Arredondo]

Tinkoff Saxo ‏@tinkoff_saxo 38 sec.
Neutralization of the Stelvio-descent wasn't brought to all team cars. Big confusion #giro 1:35 to Quintana.

This makes it even better

 

[Arnout]

Some riders riding without gloves now. Clearly the cold hasn't had a catastrophic impact.

 

[BigMac]

because they were thinking the organization would make sure it comes all back together.

Or even worse... get fined for disrespecting organisation instructions.

So it was announced, but not all got the message

Not sure. I'm in New Zealand. Pretty happy actually, it's the first time we've had it in TV. I have had to stream it on previous years

A guy like Cadel should know better.
