Newbie race question
Teach me oh great rbr riders...
I have not really followed road racing closely until this years Tdf. I have been mountain biking for years, but never paid close attention to any road races. This year I watched one stage on OLN and became hooked. So now I have a strategy/scoring question. In one stage, i don't remember which one or names at the moment, there was a group that broke away from the peloton. They rode for awhile and had a sizable gap when one of the people in that group was dropped. He couldn't catch up so he was just ****in around until the peloton was going to get where he was. Why should he do that? Why not finish between the front group and the peloton? |

was a group that broke away from the peloton. They rode for awhile and had a sizable gap when one of the people in that group was dropped. He couldn't catch up so he was just ****in around until the peloton was going to get where he was. Why should he do that? Why not finish between the front group and the peloton? 1) he does want he wants / what he can 2) If he had no gas to stay with the group, there is few chances that he could stay by him self between the group and the peloton. 3) More seriously: Dropped from the first group, his best bet is to wait quietly for the peloton to catch him up and try to stay with it |
