Default Mayo 2nd in 15th stage - bad style?

Mayo took 4 seconds from Ullrich by finishing 2nd today.

After Ullrich waited for him and Armstrong.

Mayo gained some Euros, the seconds are irrelevant - for him. Not for
Ullrich.

Woundn't it have been better style not to outsprint Ullrich after the
crash and the wait?

I think so, especially since Mayo sucked his wheel the whole way up.

When you're 25 years young and you have a chance of finishing 2nd in
the heaviest stage in the pyrenees in the middle the basque fans, you
goddamn try and do it.

And you may as well take at least one pull, if only for 10 seconds, so you
don't look like the total ******.
