I never said anything of the sort. On the contrary I said AC has no right to complain if it happens.Gigs_98 said:So you can say that AC is a cyclist who doesn't always act polite and that he shouldn't complain when astana or sky set a high pace.
I just wanted to stop the discussion with this comment. However its a little bit unfair from you to say my comment doesn´t have anything to do with what you wrote before and support that with a quote which only shoes half of my original comment. I just didn't want to post two replies about one and the same topic, so half of my post was not a direct answer to what you wrote.The Hitch said:To continue the discussions from another thread

Its really annoying when people assume they know what someone else thinks about something, based on what they said about something completely different.
The thing about chaingate is, Contador did the exact same thing to Schleck, that Schleck did to him earlier.
If I steal £100 from you, I cannot complain if you then steal £100 from me later.
It is a matter of principle. I was 100% behind Schleck in that TDF as I wanted someone else to win the Tour for a change, but right is right.

To come back to the main question, I don't think Contador attacked because Andy did the same to him earlier. Schleck had the defect and Contador was out of the saddle immediately after that. I doubt that these one or two seconds were enough time for Alberto to think if andy deserves that or not. He just attacked because he saw the chance to pull back some time
Fair enough. Sorry if I misrepresented your position. I had said in the thread that I didn't think AC's rivals would do anything wrong if they attacked him, and I thought you were suggesting I had said otherwise.Gigs_98 said:I just wanted to stop the discussion with this comment.

Gigs_98 said:yes you are right, I am a big andy schleck fan but I wouldn't say that alberto didn't deserve the win in 2010. I think at the end you just cannot say what would have been the right thing to do in this situation. (and that counts for sanchez and menchov too)
