Do you really think that other races should follow the example set by P-R ? Plus, even if they had tried to identify the riders, by then the race was over
I’d expect ’em to show discretion, let’s use PR and last years Giro and as an example, clear rule breaking in PR and a massive safety issue, nothing done, nada, brushed under the carpet. Last years Giro was a complete cluster **** with red flags that weren’t red flags but we’re but weren’t, nothing done, race decided. Then we look at this, the rule is clear as is it’s intent but Porte wasn’t trying to gain an advantage, he was just doing his best to limit a disadvantage. The UCI could have just fined him and allowed the time he lost to stand. But na, let’s go balls deep and **** him!
