where are these places ?There are other places where Roglic is disliked to an irrational degree... it's just sports fans being who they are, as sad as it is.
...Personally I find it hard to tell if that's a flat or not from what I've seen, but there are more knowledgable people, so if they agree with one or the other decision, that's better. Also I am confused about when Evenepoel first raised his hand and who he was with at that point, that should also be carefully looked at. If that has happened, and the decision has been made based on that assessment, it's all fine.
Since people think this is about any special rider:
Hindly had a mechanical inside the 3 km rule in the giro and even then there was conspiracy theories that thought it was really convenient to have a flat just within 3 km. So these discussions aren't new.
Here is the topic of that stage.Since people think this is about any special rider:

Yes, there is. When the white manufacturers name is at the bottom of the wheel on each revolution you can see the tire is flatter than the front one. You’re one of the only posters still arguing this.no you can't. i just watched it again three times. there is no clear evidence his rear wheel is flat.
Sheeeyut! Primoz must've been cross-eyed from pulling to miss the echelon point of reentry by that much! It's partially foregivable as he didn't know how many dudes were following and he probably was so redlined he couldn't count anyway. It also might have saved his collarbone and head by hitting early instead of the Fred's rear wheel trailing edge. Ouch...in real time. BTW: that is the coolest Nascar angle of a crash video I've seen in awhile.Apologies if this has already been posted on this long old thread, but pretty amazing how Fred Wright didn't even wobble.

You can spot the sticky/chewing gum on the road in that video. At least now we know that did not have anything to do with it, as Roglic crashed a few meters earlier.Sheeeyut!

Many bones are aching right now in sympathy.
I'm seeing a lot of posts like this one from people who seem to think this is chain gate 2. It's not, calm down.The hatred for guys like Remco and Mas and the (although I like him) over the top fandom for Roglic has given this Vuelta a proper toxic atmosphere here and on other online spheres.
I do enjoy some trolling and GTs will always have heated discussions but this is reaching some proper bizarre levels.
Why would Remco fake a puncture on a ridiculously easy finish? If a gap is created by puncheurs/sprinters with GC guys like Roglic he won't be given the first time anway but always the time of the peleton (as it happened here, Roglic gained 8s on him, correct decision btw.), so what exactly would he gain? Not risking getting dropped by the whole peleton? If that is his worry he might as well just pack his bags.
If anything, Roglic can be happy that we had the 3km rule here otherwise he'd lose time on everyone after crashing.
Edit: When the same happened to Hindley in the Giro no one gave a ***.
For those who still need more proof, here is the comparison of the Strava segment where Evenepoel punctured, compared to the fastest time recorded by Strava... being that of Fred Wright, the same Fred Wright who ended up finishing together with the Roglic group (without Roglic). Evenepoel was going 4 seconds faster than Wright at the moment he started losing speed and came to a halt. So you can toss the insane assumption in the bin that Evenepoel either faked his puncture because the pace was too high, or had his puncture well before the moment when he signalled it unless he was able to ride faster than everybody else, with a puncture. From the moment he loses speed until the moment he stops, he loses 49s over 100 meters, which explains why it took him so long to pass by on that fan footage after Roglic &co had passed.

La Vuelta 16 🇪🇸🥴 - Remco E's 188.4 km bike ride
Remco E rode 188.4 km on Sep 6, 2022.www.strava.com
Looked like after the Colbrelli crash.
Why is it there's always Bahrain guys there.
If he punctured before 3 km to go, was it unsportsmanlike of Evenepoel to not stop until he was within 3 km to go?Lol, all the crying and the salt almost has me wish Evenepoel DID in fact fake it, just to ad insult to injury. You can't make this stuff up.
Also, Roglic is injured but we don't care about that, but the fact that Evenepoel almost definitely possibly very well likely might have been able to perhaps fake that because we all know he isn't able to follow the peloton on a 400 meter bump in the road, has our utmost attention.
In years to come, the biggest mass debate in cycling will be between flat tyrer's vs round tyrer's.
Getting the right paperwork in place for an unnecessary TUE is just smart and using the rules to your advantage. See: https://www.dopeology.org/incidents/Armstrong-positive/It's entirely possible that the tire started to go down before the 3km mark, and he wisely waited until he was inside the effective neutral zone before signaling. That's actually smart racing and using the rules to your advantage. If that's the case, was it tied to Roglic's attack? I suppose it could be, but it wouldn't matter anyway ; worst case he loses only the boniseconds...
Good it should be a universal expression"Cada ladrón juzga por su condición"
I think they have it in every language and is one of the most used and abused expressions in the universe!!

Thanks for the video. This was the point of contact:Apologies if this has already been posted on this long old thread, but pretty amazing how Fred Wright didn't even wobble.
