These guys sacrifice their health to win taking drugs and doing
anything else to cheat so why do they respect the custom of not
competing on final stage? Lets say you are in second by a few seconds
and know you can win the final stage. Do you really give up even the
stage win? I just dont get it.
They do not respect a custom or tradition, they respect the other riders and
their teams. You can attack but all it will do is **** everyone off after they
chase you down. If the wind and terrain make a break possible, someone will take
it, but usually that doesn't happen.
Exactly right. The chances that Evans could have won the race on the
final stage are extremely remote and he would have made a lot of
enemies for nothing.
