The UCI anounced today that Bart Wellens is scrapped from the results
of the Overijse cross. He also has to explain his actions in Lausanne on
februari 22th. Lars Boom receives first price.

Damn, Good for the UCI. Nice to see it. Hope they make the officials
explain. I'd love to be a fly on that wall.

I'd like to hear the story on the spectator action that solicited such a
response. No excuse for his behavior but sometimes this kind of feedback
is inevitable.

I think that spectators ought to be able to do anything they want. Like
in the old days when they'd give Eddy a nice kidney punch to keep him
down in the finishing order.

Riders shouldn't be allowed to protect themselves or take any actions
against the monkey's slinging feces.

After all, what this is really about is making the promotors look bad
and we certainly can't have that.
