Cadel Evans - more whining

Triathlon Forum

This has to qualify as whining: “Peloton’s riding like amateurs…”

  • Wouldn’t he be better off just staying silent and invisible - just like he is in the peloton?

I liked Bobko’s comments when this came up on the later broadcast. He called him out about his whining and pointed out that the two he was referring to are on different teams. They are not attacking him so much as each other. Hell he could just latch onto those two and let them fight it out among themselves, he would be a passanger…Only problem is he doesn’t have the legs to buy that bus ticket, and his whining now is just losing him fans…ANother case of riding the tour with your mouth, and not your legs…

Perhaps someone with more experience can explain what teammates could have done for him exactly

Horner should kick this guy in the crotch.

No Cadel, it couldn’t be that YOU’RE simply not good enough to hang with these guys. It couldn’t be YOU. I’t is clearly the more straight forward answer that all the teams and contenders are conspiring against you. That your team, with the obvious exception of you, is weak. Next I suppose you’ll start to blame the Tour organizers and fans.

You’re a punk, Cadel.

I feel sorry for Tom Evans. I wonder how many people just read the subject of the thread without opening it up?

I opened it up

and he does seem like a whining idiot.

But, perhaps someone with more cycling experience can explain how team mates would have helped him in the last 12k

and how contador and rasmussen were “teaming up on him”

Sorry Tom… fixed now:)

That’s a shame. I like Cadel.

The teamate would have pulled on the descent, while Cadel sat on. Cadel could have then done a short hard TT in the final 1 or 2 K, which appeared to be a little uphill. Not having ridden the course, it is hard to say for sure, but I could certainly see how having a teammate could have saved Cadel 30 seconds or so. I didn’t pay attention to the exact splits, but I think the bulk (or maybe half) of the time advantage gained by Contador and Rasmussen was due to Hincapie pulling them down the descent.

That said, Cadel’s comments were WAY out of line.
