Tour Down Under

there were no charges CRANKSTER!

I was searching for the right word. The story I originally heard was that Rigotto was going to be disciplined. I assume this action has been dropped now.

he was dq'ed from the race, kicked out, first plane home, economy class, no hooker for the mile high club. So, no discipline. No hooker, no discipline. 😄

Seems pretty hash, especially the no hooker bit. I assume you have seen video of the incident. Was it that bad and blatant?

The angle I saw came right at the end of leestevens posted

. Not the top view that thunder was referring to though.

I have not seen a top view (link anyone?), but the from summary video, it seemed to be somewhat blatant. Nice try thunder, but no way that movement of the head is to "get the center of gravity straight".

Darklord, perhaps you should see the overhead before you make a comment.

If you do not see the swerve, you cannot tell how his momentum was pulling him to his left, to the right as you watch front on view.

Is there a link somewhere to the top view of the same incident?

I think the youtubes I saw, were just front on.

In your support, if I only saw the front on, I would tell myself to get [censored]. Your opinion is on the money without seeing how Rigotto took evasive action first.
