What a classy young man. In this day of around the clock garbage, disrespect and trash talk he is acting very admirably. I'd be ready to strangle the driver for ruining my golden opportunity to live out the dream I've worked so hard for. (Many of us would, I think.)
no one has mentioned the incredible job voeckler did staying on his bike. he got knocked a foot sideways, onto the grass, and still rode thru it.
that boy has some reflexes and balance
Heya, I just got home from being out of town. Luckily today I had time to watch it live.. increduous the whole time.. what a tour. Anyway as a former Vino fan I’m still feeling badly for the way he went out. I mean, jeeeeez. Comments made on Twitter about it being good riddance are in very poor taste imo.
As a former giver-of-the-doubt about Contador, have you guys actually looked hard at the footage? Sure looked like he was bumped out by Karpets to me. Is that allowed or something?
I agree with the bloggers that the peloton should be hopping mad and might should even protest. Like refuse interviews for a day with the media who isn’t condemning that car to the utmost.
And as a former Lance fan, I will say that I’m enjoying this being a Lance-free event, and I’m still TEAM CADEL! Until such time as he does stuff which makes me preface my comments in the future with, “As a former Cadel fan.”
:-D
