So I was watching this years tour and wondered if anyone was paying attention to what happened in the last stage of the tour 2009.

I was in Houston Texas on holiday and what I saw on you tube was like nothing else

It blew my mind. I was not in the country or on forums like this so I was wondering what the repercussions of this guys actions were. Also why the hell would he do it? It sounds funny but there is a lot of naughty underground crime and general nastyness that nobody mentions in the pro world. Could he have been 'lent on' to do this or is my imagination got excited.

Cheers

    He got a ban from the UCI. I still think it wasn't intentional but let's not open that can of worms again.
  • Like i say i wasnt around for the fall out. Some pretty crazy stuff tho no?
  • There was a decent piece in Procycling not too long ago about how he dealt with it. I don't know if one of the staffers here can dig it out of the archives?
