Thoughts of Bartali or Merckx on the mountains.
They certainly put up (or not) with hissy fits.Organiser, National Championship 50 mile Time Trial 19720 -

I think part of the reason he got so pissy is people (the Mavic bike, the FDJ volunteer at the side of the road) kept offering him replacement wheels and his problem was his rear derailleur meaning he needed a new bike!To be fair to Pinot, it was the last chance for Martin's goal of bonus seconds and yellow for a day or 2. Pinot had 3 mechanical's which dropped him from 1st group to behind the 2nd and a mechanic/helper who looked like he didn't know his ar$e from his elbow. Nevermind the day before.
How would they know that the instant they get to him? It's probably the first thing that is always offered by riders and helpers. He needs to grow a pair, looked like a 9 year old the way he slammed his bike then had his bottom lip out.0 -
I agree entirely. He's a professional and he should have acted like one. I can understand why he felt so frustrated though.I think part of the reason he got so pissy is people (the Mavic bike, the FDJ volunteer at the side of the road) kept offering him replacement wheels and his problem was his rear derailleur meaning he needed a new bike!

Das panzerwaggen mustn't expect to be in yellow for long he's not got a yellow painted bike. Just a bit of cheap yellow electrical tape around the bars.

I was referring to the fact the helper didn't even think to give him a push to get him going again. Until the tongue lashing that is.
Pinot has the hopes of France on his back, and had lost 3 mins in 3 stages already. I think he knew it was all over before it's really begun and all the hard work and preparation has been for nothing.0 -
Michael Matthews must be very familiar with the back of Skoda estate cars. He's been looking at the back bumper for long enough. That's lantern rouge determination."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0

I think the reason he looked so fed up at that point is his derailleur was still knackered, so push or not it wasn't really going to help.
