That is what makes it more interesting to watch than a time trial. It is strong riders trying to get away from fast riders. Tactic and strategies, get creative. It sounds like the time trialest get upset at the sprinters and try to make them feel bad for not racing the way they want them to. If your a sprinter and are confident you can win the field sprint but don't have a big engine to win pulling on a break away what motivation is there for the spinter to work. The strong engine types should use their strength to tire the sprinter. Thats racing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263383855781094235.post-62717015904932956612009-06-10T10:49:15.766-04:002009-06-10T10:49:15.766-04:00It is so much whining.

If they don't like it they should do something about it and not whine. Like attack. Go back to the group and try to break again without that rider, etc. There are many options. If they let the rider sit and sprint past oh well, don't whine and complain. That is called a sore loser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263383855781094235.post-60995122856071628792009-06-09T11:11:08.240-04:002009-06-09T11:11:08.240-04:00I really don't understand how some people in t...I really don't understand how some people in that discussion actually believed it was unethical for the guy to contest the sprint. It's like they don't even know how their own sport works. There's no logical distinction between sitting on in a break or in the peloton. <br /><br />Cavendish does no work except for 200 meters a day. He must be the most unethical guy who ever rode a bike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
