They steal them from airplanes

They reserve them for team leaders: if you have a *4 on your back you are just fobbed off with the usual supermarket ones.

I hope that she won’t be punished too hard. Many people have done something equally stupid and got away with it thanks to pure luck. She didn’t have any bad intents, she is just stupid. I am always annoyed by stupid people not realizing how stupid they are, but you can’t really blame them. If they would be able to realize their own shortcomings, they wouldn’t be that stupid.

I have bought them on holidays in France, but I have never seen them in Germany. Maybe you can order them on Amazon.

Yeah, but punishing them does at least give other stupid people further down the road an incentive to be less stupid.

Yes, you can really blame this person for being stupid.  If this incident didn't get caught on camera, would she get in trouble?  Maybe not.  But she did and deserves to be punished for it.  Like @Grassmarketsaid, if they make an example of her, maybe the next stupid person won't be so stupid.

What an insane ride by Van der Poel, wow. Especially considering this was his longest time trial ever, he barely ever really trains time trial riding (no time in between being at the top of the world in three disciplines) and only recently he got a set of fast wheels they managed to buy from Cameron Wurf of all people.

 

And Pogacar has thrown in the early decision
