Sprinting Decorum

A bit topical perhaps but check out the link.... maybe some tips, I particularly like the way the Giant rider (John Degenkolb) pushed a few lads out of the way and pulled his way past others... a fair bit of bumping... some bike handlers at that speed in what was not a simple finish!…

Seems, legit! Thats the way it rolls! Only difference, majority of lead out train doesn't worry about winning the race, job is to get their sprinter into the best position. Dont seem much of that in Ireland or England.

Stick a camera on an a4 sprint and you'd see scary. That all looks nice and civilized to me.

i dont think he pushed them as such - i think it was more a hand to let them know he was there and they moved
