  1. There are traffic cones set up in the middle of the road. Only the
    motorcycles are allowed to go to the right of the cones. Heras, unlike his
    rivals, has been cutting corners by going between the cones to the other
    (right) side, which has been expressly forbidden. H'll lose his gold jersey
    to Menchov because of his performance. How much time will he be penalized
    for riding outside the course?

    Really, wtf was he thinking? He rode slalom around the cones, no way
    this happened accidentally. He has to be penalized.

    He only got a 10 second penalty. I think he made up more time than that by
    having a road twice as wide as the other riders.

    I don't think it was harsh. His riding was cynical, to say the least, and
    he should be penalised at least double what he gained by cheating.

    I think he was being sarcastic.

    Dumbasses,

    Explain, please, how one rides sarcastically. Or cynically, for that
    matter.

    Are you able to dress yourself in the morning?

    I was saying that Ernst Noch was being sarcastic when he said "Wow,
    harsh! Probably roughly the same he won by violating the rules. The
    message is clear ..." as the penalty was not harsh.

    As for Bob Martin's comments , he was right on target and you need a
    dictionary.

    I rather think it's going by imperial volume.
