so what's going on here? commissaires called him for hanging on to his team car, and cav's explanation confuses me.

cav's story is that his spare machine was set up with an 11-23 cassette but "was adjusted for a 12." he had a mechanic fix that as he got back into the race.

are we talking about limit screws here? what does it mean for a bike to be "adjusted for a 12?"

meanwhile, poor cav... first, he leads out for an absent ciolek, sits up, and gets passed. then this, although i'm hesitating to write this off as bad luck!
