I consider any riders who sit in the pack protected for most of the race and then make a move right near the finish to be pansies. This includes GC riders, sprinters, puncheurs, etc.
Cobble races mainly break apart with a long way to go, and breakaway guys are well, breakaway riders.
Maybe calling them pansies isn't fair, but they certainly don't get my respect compared to breakaway artists.

Why do you think these 'pansies' win more then the others? Right, because they save their energy untill the very last. This is what cycling is all about. Otherwise it wouldnt have to be a teamsport...
Like one of the Dutch commentator always says: First eat someone else's plate, before you start eating your own.

Don't get on him, he's not a native English speaker. Well, I guess as your English, neither are you
I guess as I am English, YOU ARE (or, you're) going to have to put up with it.
And I am letting him off the hook, I put a smiley after the insult.
I did edit it right after, but at least we can awkwardly segway this into another My Fair Lady video, therefore breaking the record set by this thread for the most My Fair Lady videos in a thread:
