Why dont they compete in the final stage??
These guys sacrifice their health to win taking drugs and doing
anything else to cheat so why do they respect the custom of not competing on final stage? Lets say you are in second by a few seconds and know you can win the final stage. Do you really give up even the stage win? I just dont get it. |

Evans should have started with a time trial bike and go for it 15 km before the finnish at the moment contador is drinking his champagne,not done ok, but hey this is sport. |

In 1975, Eddy Merckx was 2nd at the start of the last stage and attacked all day, however, he was unable to move up in the standings. More recently, other riders have tried to move up in the standings on the last stage. The last person to do so was Vinokourov, who moved up from 6th to 5th in 2005, and in 2002 Rumsas attacked on the last stage to try to move up from 3rd to 2nd without success. -ilan |

They do not respect a custom or tradition, they respect the other riders and their teams. You can attack but all it will do is **** everyone off after they chase you down. If the wind and terrain make a break possible, someone will take it, but usually that doesn't happen. Exactly right. The chances that Evans could have won the race on the final stage are extremely remote and he would have made a lot of enemies for nothing. |

More specifically, their character. Rumsas.......Is he the one who left his wife to rot in a French Prison for three or four months Vino.........Was he banned from 2006 Tour for cheating, and tossed from 2007 Tour for cheating? Also, If Evans could attack to win, he would have earlier........ |
