I wonder how big the fine would be for trashing cycling's image like Campearts did

Like most of Quintana's wins? Nibali's too? They always seem to win in poor fields, or at the misfortune of others. |

Eh, can't blame Movistar/Bahrain/Katusha here, race was definitely on and it wasn't some freak accident... They're doing the right thing, they half-waited for like 5 minutes then race is back on. |

Same thing happened in the Vuelta 2015 minus shitgate, Dumo has a hard time on stages like this.
I wonder how the dutch will lose a GT next year, snow wall, taking a shit in the bottom of a climb... |

Consistency is a huge part of 3 week races, it's a skill not luck. |

Ok guys, honestly with you being in Tom's position of winning the Giro, what would you do in his situation? |

I would've expected that they would've waited...yes, shit management is also part of cycling, but so is "not crashing".

Last time Dumoulin took a shit in a MO stage he won the day after. That's promising right?

Never said it wasn't! Just boring, anticlimactic wins that everyone can see coming. |

Especially as it were katusha and Orica who kept on pacing first.

It is always Katusha taking advantage of fallen riders. Remember Giro 2015 with Contador having puncture. |

Tom is starting to ride with more confidence again now. Right after his break it looked like he did not feel well, but now it is starting to look better for him |

I get your point but it was very very different circumstances. Also, i wouldn't have faulted the peloton if they didn't sit up and wait for Nairo. |
