It is obvious to any and/or all experienced race caliber riders, that there is no honor in you, nor would any peleton respect you. As far as a leak stop, I agree, or as it was classlessly put, a **** stop, that such a choice/need, merits no respectful slowing, and reunion speed. Is the ignorant suggestion, that a chosen pit stop and/or poor line resulting in a flat, is in any way similar to a fluke occurance such as occured in the particular case in question? In professional cycling, honor is paramount to determine, within the peleton, which are the strongest riders, deserving of the respect of fellow professionals, rather than that of casual viewers with uneducated/unexperienced opinions, like yourself. I suggest spending some time with a number on your back, in a pro setting, racing for your livelyhood, as well as a finish line, with your rep on that same line, before making concise, inaccurate and otherwise foolish observations. Just a suggestion of course, because as I have seen, those who thrust opinion without experience do so, often because that is all they have to forward.
