Sprint boxing

Interesting piece on Velonews.

http://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/3937.0.html

Judges call "foul!" There was some rough and tumble action in the fight for Cipollini's wheel, with
fight being the key word. Andris Nauduzs (CCC-Polsat) punched Petacchi in the head with 3km to go
and later crashed in the final kilometer, splitting the peloton.

Nauduzs was later kicked out of the Giro by race officials after TV replays showed him landing a
blow against Petacchi's head. Former race leader Petacchi was penalized 25 points in the spinter's
competition, but wasn't booted although he returned his own punch that missed.

Seems to be contagious. Bill C

should miss a few races for a while?

 

In the coverage I saw, Petacchi clearly threw the first punch. In typical NBA fashion, the refs call
the foul on the retaliation.

So, how many Pollacks does it take to win a Giro Stage?

Greg

 

I just reviewed the tape......he didn't throw the first punch he was yelling and waved his arm...not
even close. Probably called him a name or something... Then he came back up and threw the
punch......so much for his race...bye bye "psycholist" <[email protected]> wrote in message

I also thought Petacchi only made a waving gesture and didnt hit Nauzdus, but from some press
declarations it seems he did.

That the jury uses "closer to the line = more dangerous" as argumentation is ridiculous.

ahhh. remember when poor Tom Steels was banned from the Tour for throwing a plastic weightless
object, after being punched and hit by some Aussie scum for days in a row.

Two, one to sprint and the other to crash and take the rest of the field out of contention

Don't let Eddy B hear you say that. How far this is from the 1970s and 80s when Polish riders were
contenders. They didn't get much travel opportunity but they were always ones to watch in the UK
Milk Race etc. Last of that breed was Zenon Jaskula. STF

Ignorant... First of all, he is not Polish and second, that's not funny.

 

Look at it again... I'm not sure if he did hit him, but he clearly attempted to throw a punch. Also,
he kept banging into the Latvian rider. The punishment should be equal to both riders.

I really think they should allow the riders to NOT wear helmets. That way they could pull each
others hair. Maybe they should let them carry their purses too.

I wouldn't call what I saw a "punch."

Ride on girlfriend! Mo

 

Boxing gloves mabye?

I was confused, I thought he meant Olaf Pollack who is not riding the Giro.

Bikerecker is an ignorant bigot. Not surprised, there seems to be a lot of that from down south
these days...

Kurtyka rules!

Baranowski isn't doing so bad in the Giro.

These days? When has it been different?

Bikerecker is right about one thing though: that is where all the good riders come from.
