The guy is a troll. He's lucky he didn't get a smack in the face. If Porte, or anyone is out on a solo training ride, the last thing they need is a goose like durianrider ruining their session.

What on earth makes him thing that just because Porte is a pro bike rider, he has some kind of duty to bend to his will. Durianrider is a grade A half wit.

And probably still 50 IQ points up on Porte.

"He's lucky he didn't get a smack in the face" he could not reach DR face :lol:

I have ridden/climbed with a few pros in france and they had no issues with me riding alongside or following.

Looks to me like LRP got annoyed because he could not drop Durianrider. He acted like an ass not Durianrider. If LRP wanted to train alone he only had to ask. Did he ask? No ,he just got pissed because he could not drop Durianrider simple as that , toys out the pram.

Of course there is the distinct possibility that our vegan friend did not choose to show the bit where he was riding like a dick. Just maybe he had already pissed RP off, but chose not to put it on you tube.

I doubt it, IQ only goes down to zero.

What are you saying? That RP is not too smart to be a bike rider?

a

That is all assumption. Explain how you ride like a dick " drop a pro? " ride behind a pro who cant drop you? How are you coming to that conclusion?
I would say the exact opposite. DR has many videos of himself riding with pros. The pros and their entourage have no issues with DR. Chatting and offering him drinks even. He's rode with Froome twice recently with no issues. In one of his videos he pops a couple of moviestar riders off his wheel and they don't get stroppy, in-fact the team in the support car offer him a drink.
So on the evidence of previous DR pro rides the most likely assumption is that LRP got pissed because he could not drop him.

I'm on my 6th banana of the day by the way :lol:

Xena why don't you keep it on topic, this is the pro cycling thread and there is plenty of good racing going on to discuss. You're boy DR is only a professional banana eater.

I'd say finding out a prominent pro is a douche towards amateur cyclist folk suits in the pro cycling thread just fine. I've no idea who this DR guy is, but I agree with Xena Porte's behavior looks childish. so allegedly pros have issues with civilians trying to hold their wheels? "ruining a training session"? come on, really? :lol: that's what EVERYONE does (or:tries to do :lol: ) when he meets a pro along the road...
