That's just guesswork.Originally posted by Harv View Post
Back to what happened, it's actually quite a complex issue and there are many ex-professionals on either side of the argument.
So I think it would have been better if Contador had waited (in the circumstances of what really happened) and I don't entirely buy his explanation. But what's done is done, Schleck's accepted the apology and I think cycling is the better for the question being discussed..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

That would be really immoral obviously.Originally posted by Scratch View Post
But also it shows you haven't quite got the complexities of the issue. If someone attacks the yellow jersey wearer who then suffers a mechanical problem, then the attacker is under no obligation to stop. Indeed other riders can follow him, even if they hadn't when the race leader suffered the problem.
What happened here was Schleck attacked Contador and suffered a problem and only then did Contador counter-attack. The fact Schleck had already attacked makes it less clear-cut and explains why many ex-pros think Contador did nothing wrong. The argument the other way is Contador hadn't attacked until Schleck had a problem so shouldn't have done so, or at least should have stopped riding hard (you can follow but not lead) once he found out why Schleck had slipped so far behind him..

Well, that's pretty much it, barring accidents.
Amazing coverage today, given the terrible weather..

Some phenomenal efforts out there today.
Saxo Bank did their best, got rid of pretty much the whole Astana team, but you just can't break Contador. Nice to see Schleck win the stage, what an effort from him.
Sammy Sanchez has also done brilliantly. Horrific crash early on and then came back to get a few more seconds on Menchov!
Geez there are some nutters in the crowd.
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang!
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go clang!
What a noisy place to belong,
Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!Comment

Has there ever been a huge crash caused by some ****** in the crowd?? Some of the cunts gets far to close to the riders
If i was riding i'd throw out the odd elbow here and there to make sure the ****ers stay back a bit when they see you coming. Maybe even pop the odd endo and swing the tail into them. Clatter the ****ers.
Also Schleck should have kicked those Borat wannabe cunts off the side of that mountain. They were right on the edge FFS, just needed a slight tap from Schlecks chicken legs and they'd be off tumbling A over T down the hill. Would have been piss funny.

I'm sure you're a right pussy though Harv, despite your tough stance in here.

There's footage of a rider being brought down by a guy taking a photo - he was leading the race at the time and almost lost it as a result.
And I've been involved:

I've never been in a fight.
Nobody ever comes at me after i give them a spray.
Got close at 5 a side not long ago, after i took this angry little midgets legs out. He wasn't happy at all and came running up to me spitting venom. He backed off when he realised i was about a foot taller than him and could have put my hand on his head leaving him swinging at air

There was that guy at the 'Alpe d'Huez' around 10 years ago (maybe a bit less). I'm not sure if he was competing with Armstrong or with another one but he clashed with one ****wit who was running next to him. He was Italian if my memory serves me right.Comment

I'm not sure I'd find someone hurtling down a mountainside possibly to their death all that funny but I probably would have done when I was 19 or whatever.
