He was never not on Morkov's wheel. Liepins lost Ackerman's wheel and was trying to get back in.Bennett 's move was dangerous. I am Irish, and a big SB fan, but he lost Morkov' s wheel and resorted to two dangerous manoeuvres to try and get it back.
Harsh but fair.
Please tell me you are jokingApparently the relegation stemmed from a complaint lodged by Trek, the whiney little babies.
Bumped their guy up from 14th to 13th.Apparently the relegation stemmed from a complaint lodged by Trek, the whiney little babies.
Would've been strange if the complaint had come from Jumbo, whose best placed rider was non-sprinty Bennett at 34, meaning that they - obviously - didn't actually play a role of any sort in the sprint.Apparently the relegation stemmed from a complaint lodged by Trek, the whiney little babies.
not in the slightest.Please tell me you are joking![]()
They could have relegated Liepins too for changing his line.Just slightly too agressive move. Jury would likely not have done anything about it without Trek's protest. But once they were required to review it, it would have been very difficult for them to judge that the move was okay. Or can you imagine jury officially concluding that moves like this are normal and allowed?
But otherwise Sam clearly the best in the actual sprint so shame that it had to end like that.
I think eventually it'll settle down a bit.There will be plenty of disqualifications in 2021 if this is the new rule - It will become like a lottery.
What? Moving from wheel to wheel is normal in the run-up to the sprint. Liepins moved maybe 30 cm to the right. Bennett risked losing his leadout's wheel fair and square and decided that was reason to pull an aggressive move not once but twice. You see sprinters losing their leadout because another rider sneaks in all the time. That is sprinting. Liepins trying to get on Morkov's wheel was as gentle a move as it gets and he was almost pushed off his bike for it.They could have relegated Liepins too for changing his line.
I hate seeing yellow cards given out in soccer/rugby for the player being fouled retaliating, and the original offender gets off free.
Translation, the big name sprinters should be allowed to bully the lesser known sprinters around.Now that's a plain stupid justification
Are you actually Lefevere or just a whiney little QS fan?Apparently the relegation stemmed from a complaint lodged by Trek, the whiney little babies.
Generally you come across as a reasonable and level-headed poster, this talk of 'whiney little babies' seemed out of character for you.not in the slightest.
Mørkøv doesn't agree with Lefevere. He basically said in an interview that of course a guy like Liepins has to fight for his position in the sprint, and it's just cool that the young up-and-coming sprinters have the confidence to be up there.Translation, the big name sprinters should be allowed to bully the lesser known sprinters around.
I‘ve no time for people who run to tell tales to teacher unless there is very, very good reason and no reasonable alternative.Generally you come across as a reasonable and level-headed poster, this talk of 'whiney little babies' seemed out of character for you.
Seems like what came around comes again...Love it.No brainer relegation for me.
