Valverde had the option of heading the other way and didn't, before he found the door closed. Freire had had to take that line to come around the other Caisse rider.
Two riders committed, one made a mistake and it wasn't Oscar."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Conclusive proof that Frenchie is a member of the UCI judiciary.
A farcical situation, made even more farcical by the Keystone Kops."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Take a look at the replay including overhead shot. Good decision. Freire moves 5ms - should know better and at least make an attempt to ride in a straight line.

The rules say if you are done for irregular riding then you finish last, not second.
Rules, schmules as they like to say in Spanish cycling I suppose.0
