Too slow in Italy. How slow?
There was an article in The Age today (well snippet is probably a better
description) about 200 riders in the Giro della Provincia di Lucca for riding too slowly. The main pack was 30 mins behind the leaders and the police couldn't keep the roads closed any longer. I'm sure their idea of too slow and mine are probably pretty different. Anyone got an idea of what a "too slow" pace for pro's is likely to be? Dave B. |

That should say disqualified for riding too slowly.

"It was at the entrance to the final circuit that the peloton, languishing over half an hour behind the leader Bertolini, was stopped in its tracks by local officials and ejected from the race. An extreme measure, but of virtually no consequence for the general classification, as the big bunch sealed its fate when it let the breakaway go clear on the day's first difficulty." -- Nick |
