This is from some coverage of today's (Wednesday) stage:
The quote is from Stuart O'Grady.
"Toulouse is my second home after Adelaide and I wanted to win but there was nothing I could do with riders like Carlos Da Cruz riding so negatively and chasing us all down"
Negative riding--
Riding backwards?
Riding with a bad attitude?
One of those super technical terms that only real cyclists understand?
A term common in Australia but not elsewhere?

Riding to prevent others from winning, as opposed to taking action to win oneself.

Is that harder than riding with your arms crossed? I'll go have a few beers and experiment...

Imagine if this guy got himself some clipless pedals and a decent bike (not to mention a mirror)... and surely he can get more aero than that...? Maybe the 2004 TdF will have a backwards TTT.
