This just in from the Tour of Turkey. Absolute mayhem! Fast forward to about 3:35 and watch as a Rabobank rider grabs the Barloworld rider wearing the yellow jersey and literally throws him into the barriers.
I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this as more details arrive, but for now watch and be amazed. When will our sport cease to fill the mainstream media with more examples of its stupidity?
The guy who threw the yellow jersey into the barrier must be permanently ejected from the sport of cycling. Disgusting.

The comment section on youtube is on fire.
Yes, if by "contact" they mean grabbing another and pulling him across your front wheel and into the barrier.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was just a big misunderstanding thats all.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear to me that Bos hit the barrier first. He didn't "throw" Impey in front of him (basically physically impossible), but hits the barriers which causes him(Bos) to stop and Impey ends up in the space in front of Bos. probably because he was leaning on Bos until Bos crashed and with no one holding Impey up the contact from the rider to his right sent him down in front of Bos.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? He had a handful of Impey's jersey and pulled him down. Unreal.
