• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Been watching this on our Oz SBS...delighted to see the idiot spectators being nudged into the barriers they should have been behind. One by a motorcycle TV camera crew, one by a rider who had just had his derailleur collapse and had to wait until his support crew could reach him. It took a couple of backhanders from the rider before that idiot got the message, that he was being herded towards the barrier with the vertical drop on the other side. :applause:
 
People are really stupid. You probably also have seen the scene when Nibali twice or three times had to push away spectators at the Tuesday stage while he was climbing alone to Andalo and loosing additional time.
