Re: Re:

If you read the interview i posted above he clearly said that he already have a contract until 2019.

...provided he doesn't have another incident like he had with Reza or even should the Reichenbach incident turns out to confirm what was alleged. Of course considering how Sky handled the Reza incident they would likely find a way to punish him minimally and keep him on their roster.

In the case of another racial abuse they said that he'll be fired.
But probably he'll easily find a new team after the eventual suspension.

I think he has impulse control issues. A ticking time bomb waiting to self destruct.

Of note:

1) The UCI has referred the allegation that Moscon pushed Reichenbach off to its disciplinary commission.
2) Other riders really are testifying on Reichenbach’s behalf.

2) we only know that some riders have testified: Reichenbach confirmed in late December that the UCI had taken his testimony and :exclaim: the statements of other riders who witnessed the crash :exclaim: in the Tre Valle Varisene race which left Reichenbach with an open fracture to the elbow and a fractured hip.

Are we talking Benoot or Moscon? Cause I would get that people don't like to spend time with him. I saw him screaming against an old lady in a car during the off-season. I don't speak italian but It didn't sound nice...

What ?

he was screaming at some old lady ..was it road rage
Sounds like someone who needs ot get his head examined

I'd like to see what the other riders had to say. If it was deliberate, 6 months is not enough. It's attempted murder. Moscon should be banned for life. We'll see what those testimonies say. Stay tuned...

Calm your tits.

??? It is. If you ride bikes, you know what I mean. That kind of a fall can kill you.

what the hell

 

[Tonton]

I don't think that I'm over-reacting. Every month or so, we are expressing outrage when a rider dies or gets severely injured by a careless driver. If true, being ran off the road by a fellow rider, on purpose, is much, much worse. Look at his injuries. Reichenbach could have died, or be done riding a bike for good. Let's see what the commission's conclusions are before throwing Moscon under the bus, but if the accusations are confirmed, I will stand by my comments: this is a very serious matter.

[Gigs_98]

I don't know the definition of attampted murder, but I guess it has to be clear the person wanted to kill someone. In this case it's not even clear if he deliberately injured him.

Edit: That said, if it turns out it was on purpose I agree 6 months aren't anywhere near enough.

Yeah, Moscon deserves one of these .

I'd rather call it assault and battery, you need some serious proof to charge someone with attempted murder.

Yes, so can punching someone in the face if you do it hard enough/in the right place. Or pushing someone backwards so that they fall and hit something sharp. Attempted murder needs clear and obvious intent for death to be the result. Not just a possible consequence of the action. Unless Moscon says "I tried to kill him" then there's no way, no chance in hell this is 'attempted murder'. It's assualt.

I've read on the italian forum that Gazzetta asked to him which are his targeted race for the spring and he answered Strade Bianche, Tirreno, Sanremo, Gent, Ronde, Roubaix, Flèche and Liege.

[Netserk]

Why not Amstel as well?

I can see him being really good at Strade, I love that race.

Fixed that for you :twisted:

Re:

The list was too long. He probably just forgot Amstel.

 

[Nirvana]

Probably he won't even ride Amstel, last year when asked why he skipped the race he said that Amstel doesn't suit his characteristic.
His program from Omloop to Liege will likely be a carbon copy of last year one, so Omloop, KBK, Strade Bianche, Tirreno, Sanremo, Harelbeke, Gent, Ronde, Roubaix, Flèche and Liege. He'll change the early season stage races with Valenciana and Algarve and obviously the summer because he'll ride the Tour.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Amstel Gold Race surely suits him more than Fléche, doesn't it? I can't see him getting anymore than a top-10 at best at Fléche tbh. And I don't really understand why he says that Amstel doesn't suit him - it should in theory suit him pretty well.

I like his ambitions and I like him as a rider, really a great allrounder and I don't wanna dwell too much with what happened last year.

 

[Nirvana]

I don't know why he thinks Amstel doesn't suit him, maybe is the flat finish that for someone that has almost no sprint on the flat like him mean the need to drop everyone to win and in the Amstel is for sure harder than in cobbled classics going solo (last year after Roubaix he said that he has no chance in a flat sprint).

Anyway if he's able to put on very short climb the bursts of acceleration showed on 10%/15% gradient at the Vuelta he'll be competitive also on Huy, on the Rabassa and another time (I don't remember which stage but was an uphill finish) he destroyed the field (included his team mates) and Froome need to ask to him to slow down the pace.

You're confusing a very hard tempo for setting up a teammate with vicious accelerations on steepest slopes. I'm not sure that Moscon has the latter.
