He did everything to prevent anyone chasing the leader and he did it in a fantastic way just tofinish still out of medals. Complete idiot. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovak guy tried to up the pace? Milesi came riding in such a way that it didn't work. German starting to try and increase the pace? Milesi was there to stop him. Morgado and Rootkin-Gray definitely didn't deserve much of a beauty price for their riding neither, but Milesi's riding today was the definition of cowardly racing (he started with that way before 20km already). Of course that whole group just messed up massively, but none had the same portion of poor riding as Milesi did. It's all good, I do think Laurance was the strongest in the race - not surprisingly, considering he is basically a full pro - and Milesi simply helped make sure Laurance would win Edited August 12, 2023 by heywoodu 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!
