he should'nt have forgoten his boxing gloves at home


if you read the earlier report, apparently he didn't start the fight. so not really his fault.


Not sure that is correct? The site I read the other day was the Bouhanni bros went to the others room because they couldn't sleep because of the noise? That's starting it in my opinion.

Did someone on here actually say that Frank Schleck could break up a fight?

I reckon Schleck and the chicken could probably do some real damage.

Arms are so skinny they'd be like the T1000 spikes.

Who gives a damn whose fault it was. Act like an adult. You have a whole team built around you for the Tour. There were other ways of resolving this issue. I'm sure sponsors are thrilled with this too.

I don't reckon too many in the peleton will be too upset.

I feel for Cofidis. A million euro a year contract so that they can have their team picked on the Tour wildcard, just to lose their leader because Bouhani couldn't keep his temper.

:lol: Nice one.

So Sagan confirmed at Bora 2017 with Majika but no info if there will be any other rider following Sagan as for example Gatto.

"neutralise" I said :) Probably a word with the commissaires to stop competing on the basis of safety would be sufficient ;) Someone made a very good point about all those bony prominences flying around being pretty deadly
