Re:
And this is the problem of cycling. That's the way of thinking that leads riders to don't care about the rules and then he have pats in the back in time trials, riders taking a lift of their team car up the mountains, riders in forbidden paths in the northern classics, riders crossing train passages when they are closed, etc., etc.
We have a governing body that publishes rules and then implements them when they want and how they want, that's the real problem and not the existence of rules.
I will never forget what happened on the time trial of last year's Giro when a Individual Time Trial was turned into a two and three-riders team time trial at times and the result? Only Tsatevich was pulled out of the race and it was a decision of his team, not of the jury.
Aguirre said:the rules are never, never apply strictly, if they do, we wouldt have any cycling.
