Radoshack short of numbers. Plus, because he can and it'll make absolutely no difference to the outcome of PR.

30 odd seconds isnt really going to stay away any longer than the peloton wants to give it !

ilm_zero7

whats going on with the Sky rider getting pushed? GT?

ilm_zero7

did that fall under the eye of the race officials?

ed_209

The pushing of the sky rider was really weird. Not a helpful steering hand back into the line - more of a shove across the road? I was expecting fisticuffs to follow.

it definitely looked aggressive

ilm_zero7

twice - it wasnt like they were scrapping for race placings at the very back of the field - wish my dutch was better, might know more as they seem to still be chattering about it

ilm_zero7

some of these lines around the corners are life-threatening for the spectators!
