Ordinarily, you wait for the other race leaders when
they crash.

T-Mobile and US Postal joined together and put some time
into Iban Mayo. I wonder if Lance and Jan are giving Mayo a
little payback for last year when Mayo, Basso, and Zubeldia
sat on his wheel up Luz Ardiden and Mayo went ahead and took
some of the time bonus. That was truly a crummy think for
the Spanish riders to do.

Perhaps that should be amended to "used to be considered to
be very unsportmanlike". That is, given the amount of $$ in
pro cycling today, should we really expect such traditions
to be maintained? That would sort of be like trying to
maintain the original sense of "amateur" vs. "professional",
now wouldn't it?

According to the cyclingnews.com coverage, T-Mobile was also
contributing.

Did you watch it? All I have is stuff like this to go on:

16:47 CEST 197km/13km to go Still Phonak, T-Mobile and (to a
lesser extent) US Postal leading the front group.

No point, I'm just upset at the wankers who think everyone
should stop on the pave for a potty break because one of the
"favorites" crashed.

Whether anyone waits in P-R is irrelevent -- the issues in
stage racing are different.

The point that this was a crash leading up to the pave is,
however, somewhat valid. If it were Hamilton rather than
Mayo who crashed, however, the center of opinion on this
incident might have been a bit different.

If I recall correctly, the fall that caused the split on the
Passage du Gois did not involve any of the contenders.
Zuelle lost time that day by being stuck behind the crash,
which is a tactical error and is fair game for being
exploited. Mayo crashed; it's a different situation.

Or Ullrich. If Jan had fallen, they might have sat up,
although with a breakaway, even that's not a certainty.

A chief lieutenant for AleJet gone, seems the sprinters

I believe that all of the other "favorites" for the Tour GC
were in the Armstrong group, except for Mayo. So how come
you all aren't ****ting on the rest of them and just Postal?
It's not Lance's fault he's got Eki and Hincapie up there
pounding away. I'm sure Johann put them there for a reason
(to protect their GC contender going into a dodgy
situation). Mayo had some bad luck, but that was almost to
be expected going into the cobbled sections. His team is not
as strong on the flats either as Postal, he doesn't have the
rolleurs that Lance does. If he did, he would have made it
back to the group.

Seems like waiting for another near-at-hand GC contender on
a climbing stage with the pelOton strung out over tens of
kilometers (as Armstrong did for Ulrich a couple of years
ago or Hamilton et al for Armstrong last year) is a little
different than waiting for a potential leader-at-some-future-stage-
maybe, on a flat stage with whole teams vying for position
at speed and with pave closing.

Re: Mayo crashes before Pavé

And Phonak and T-Mobile were up there pushing the pace, too.
Everyone trying to stay out of trouble. Mayo's DS had to
know this was coming, but why his contender is wheel sucking
at the back of the group rather than up front is anyone's
guess. Does E-E ride the spring classics?

Re: Mayo crashes before Pavé

On a cobblestone section, the safest place to be is at the front. Naturally, the way to ensure your placement at the front is to elevate the pace significantly. Given the placement of the two most experienced USPS riders on cobblestones (Eki and Hincapie), this strategy was unquestionably planned in advance.

Whether Mayo crashed or didn't crash, it did not alter the strategy. It was only a matter of circumstance that Mayo ended up in the lagging half of the peloton. Furthermore, given the protective measures of USPS, Phonak, and T-Mobile for their respective leaders, it would have been faulty for any of them to compromise the safety of their leaders (top GC contenders) by sitting up in this dangerous section.

Yes the orange people are already organising a plastic bag

No. But we haven't forgotten either the comment of Johan
Bruyneel: "He asked me if he should continue. I said he'd
better wait. The finish was much too far and Heras and
Ribeira were just behind." I other words: it had nothing to
do with sportmanship. Not that I blame him. As Rudy Altig
said: "We're pro's, not sportsmen". On the other hand, when
Armstrong seemd to wait for Ullrich, he recieved a lot of
goodwill. That was good for his reputaion and his sponsors
must have loved it. If possible riders should always try to
seem generous and fait, if not, they and so ir sponsors will
get bad publicity. Fortunately, there is almost always an
excuse for being a bit unsportsmanlike. Just as this time.
