But I remember that it was discussed whether a 4th Grand Tour should be made in the US, @Olympian1010. Never happened, though Edited July 12, 2018 by Agger Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted July 12, 2018 #183 Share Posted July 12, 2018 By the way, odd time penalty for Dumoulin. He deserved the penalty for stayering behind the car, no doubt, but less than 20km earlier Fuglsang and half the Astana team did the exact same thing...I would suppose they got the same penalty, but strangely I've heard nothing about it..

Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 13, 2018 #184 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm glad that cheater Dumoulin was caught. In my opinion there should be a disqualification in such cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Danish media think it's weird Weird that Dumoulin got it or weird that Fuglsang didn't? Because just to clarify: basically everyone in the Netherlands, from fans to media, agrees that they are right to give Dumoulin the penalty (which was more or less a tactical decision probably, now he lost 20 seconds with that, but without stayering he might have lost much more) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

The commentators felt sure that they would get fined while it happened, but apparently not even that happened. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
