The headbutt was perfectly acceptable in the light of 40mph blocking of a man who was cyclist shedloads faster. I do think that Renshaw's subsequent "drifting" to the left to block the man who later came 3rd behind Cav in the sprint was unacceptable, but sending the Australian home was a massive overreaction, since Cav won that sprint by a country mile easily and nobdy got hurt, whilst the blocking of Renshaw might have casued a serious accident.Phill Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989739510538371364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63647772262858042.post-32500399550913024782010-07-16T14:41:10.060+01:002010-07-16T14:41:10.060+01:00Head winds are often tougher than hills. The hill...Head winds are often tougher than hills. The hill always has a top and then a coast back down. The head wind just keeps pressing against you. And there certainly IS a point in any wind were it's too dangerous to ride. Each rider must judge that for himself: 25 mph, 30 mph, 40 mph, but at some point you just can't control the bike and need to get off. <br /><br />Having the family SAG wagon fetch you after a breakdown or one too many flats may feel to some like the ride of shame. But no one should feel that way about getting out of dangerous weather.<br /><br />====<br /><br />Re. the tour, I agree. All riders involved should be sanctioned and the event didn't rise to the level of complete dismissal. A few minutes tacked on to the day's official time would seem more appropriate. Or maybe hold them those few minutes after the start of the next day's ride so they have to play catchup all day.ChesapeakeSailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394518217120645819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63647772262858042.post-45521264968195195462010-07-16T13:53:08.998+01:002010-07-16T13:53:08.998+01:00Clive I agree one hundred percent I thought it was...Clive I agree one hundred percent I thought it was a joke decision I have been watching it live on Eurosport HD. They interviewed on of the judges today who said there decision took five minutes which to me seems a bit quick to me.<br /><br />That is a great real time web following HTC's riders mate.<br /><br />As for the wind it does take it out of you its like walking in sand you get nowhere fast, and has you said dangerous when very strongLes Bealeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093130887847326361noreply@blogger.com
