When did he get dropped and let back in? He got dropped a number of times, and he dropped all the otherse a few times as well. Then he ripped it on the final mountain stage. Most obvious move in history to follow, so I can only conclude they didn't have the legs after MAL had tried before him.This is simply not true. He was dropped more than once but the tempo dropped and he got back on. If they can drop him now, they're not going to let that happen that easily.
