swampy1970 said:It's a pretty ****ty way to take someone down - but from that angle you can't really be sure that he didnt try to dodge someone mid corner and just bagged it on the exit and "kinda sorta unintentionally" leaned into him or just plain just leaned into him with the intention of taking him down. Hardly in the same league of skullduggery as the Theo Bos/Impey incident... and hardly a ban for life situation.
Bro Deal said:The Bos-Impey situation is nothing compared to this. Bos took his hands off the bars to either steady himself or move Impey in a tight situation. When Bos started to crash he instinctivly gripped Impey's jersey and brought both of them down. It was stupid, but it was not deliberate.

Eldron said:What? When you start crashing you pull somebody down with you - you don't throw them ahead of you into the barrier and land on them.
Bos didn't take his HANDS off the bars - he took his right hand off the bars. You should have another look at the vid...
It was deliberate, dangerous and dirty.

In this situation Keough deliberately hooked Bahati and took thirty guys down. This was not a little move to the right. It was a hard swerve over Bahati's wheel. Keough looked back to make sure he took Bahati down and then rejoined the pack.
At least Bahati has manned up and said he lost his cool when he threw his glasses.
swampy1970 said:A refresher. Bos clearly grabs his jersey before he starts to go down...
tonyzackery said:^^^Quite obvious you haven't put on a race number recently (in the last 10 years) otherwise you'd be just as ****** as any racer would be if someone just pulled a stunt like that...
Keough is lucky it wasn't me he pulled that boner on as he would've had to pull my fist out of his mouth...Bahati has every right to be ******, and demonstrably so - and the other riders that went down were ****** at Keough as well.
Yeah, Bibendum, we all look like Samuel L. Jackson. You are truly an ignorant fat a$$...go ride your bike (and keep your mouth shut) like I've told you many a time...
I understand he threw his glasses at Keough at some point. As I said above, he's lucky it wasn't me as it would've been much more than glasses that got thrown...
Team Type 1’s Hanson was near the front during the final laps. “There was just a lot of contact,” he said. “You know, guys leaning on each other, head butting each other, that started with about 10 laps to go. It was excessive,” said Hanson. “They almost spent more time focusing on each other than racing their bikes.”
“From my perspective, there was a lot of instigation,” said Hanson. “In bike racing etiquette, when one guy’s team is controlling the front, they’re working to lead their sprinter out and you have to give them the back of that train. What I saw was Bahati and other people putting more contact onto Keough and that was completely unnecessary. They have to respect the fact that his team is controlling the front.”
Bissell’s Wamsley was frustrated by the impact of the UHC/Bahati feud on the remainder of the field. “For whatever reason, United and Bahati were taking swings at each other for no good reason. They were swinging like they were going to get swarmed, but everyone was lining up behind Rahsaan,” said Wamsley. “It’s very frustrating for the rest of us, even the guys that didn’t go down, because they torched the end of the race for the whole field. It was a lot of aggression that should have been focused on the finish line instead of each other.”
Jamis-Sutter Home’s Borrajo was more direct in his opinion following the race. “Bahati today was so crazy,” said Borrajo. “It was wrong, he was so wrong, because he was fighting the United guy in the train. I don’t know why he was fighting for the train’s wheel. He was bad. He was wrong and he made the crash.”

Bahati has no right to be throwing stuff at other riders and should get a holiday from the commassaires. Keough too if he is deemed to have delibrately taken riders out, which it appears he did.
Also Tony, can you confirm if it is true us blue eyed devils all look like Howdy Doody?
tonyzackery said:^^^Bibendum, I'm still waiting for you to post up your pic of your ability to get into YOUR drops, anonomous fat man - still got that dozen doughnuts waitin' for ya' - this is a wager you can't lose...until then, you and your anonomous pissants have ZERO cred...
No race number in the past 15 years? Again, no cred...
swampy1970 said:You think you have cred just because you? Google your name and club and just see DNF after DNF listed on the first page of google results - and these are for 45 minute crits.
Quitter.
You want cred and you claim "podium finish" only to be called out that you finished 4th.
Liar.
Don't worry about me. Worry more about your sit up and beg position. If you cease to be a wind break you might be able to do something with that 1800+ watts of anaerobic fury you claim to have. I'm guessing that the pasty little white guy that just rode away from you in the last 200 meters in your '4th place podium' race must have had 2500+ watts.
tonyzackery said:Come on, anonomous fat man. Post up that pic of you gettin' in your own drops - I dare ya'. I suggest you consult your physician first as I think you might harm yourself. I still got those doughnuts on offer and I know they're startin' to talk to ya'...Heck, I'll even throw in a gallon of vanilla ice cream just to sweeten the deal...
The fact that you have "ZERO/No Cred" stems from your attempts to disparage my results when you got NONE aka ZERO to post of your own. Come on big boy, when was the last time you put on a race number for a mass start race?
Anonomous + Fat A$$ + No Cred = Bibendum, aka YOU...It must surely suck to be a nobody...
Bib, you're amusing to me and it's sometimes entertaining to make fun of those who are too mentally challenged to realize it...come again, fat man...
