    Is Chris Horner still riding? If so I'd nail it to his forehead.

    Looks like Leipheimer's jumped before being pushed.

    I was thinking of riders who were a bit older, maybe closer to retirement. But just checked, Contador is 30 and Valverde is 33. Close enough! :D

    Didn't he get straight on Hincapie's wheel when they let BG lead onto the Champs last year, when Sky held back? I thought that was telling.

    Yes, that was seriously unclassy and is the reason I was going to give for handing the red card to Horner. Plus he has a really annoying riding style that I can only describe as he looks like a little dog humping the bike.

    But I'd like to hand it to Di Luca, Garzelli, Scarponi and Valverde too.

    Oh and what about Kloden?

    Has Kloden not retired already?

    Apparently not. But Andreas has that affect it seems. I had to check.

    Davide Rebellin.
    I know he’s halfway gone already, nowadays riding only at UCI Europe Tour level, but I’d give him the second yellow.
    In terms of bans, fines and annulment of results, for lack of conclusive evidence he’s got away quite lightly compared others for doing the same or more.

    He's got a big tax bill to pay off though.

    I think Di Luca did a pretty good job helping Nibali on the final climb of stage 14. Not sure if that earns a red card or a reprieve... :mrgreen:

    Contador, cos his excuses have been laughable (plus the fact that he's a squeaky voiced twerp doesn't help).

    Here's a picture in full twerp-mode
