Getting cut off by Kirsipuu

Michael

When someone like Kirsipuu cuts off a rider, clipping his
front wheel and causing him to fall (as in the sprint to
finish the 2nd stage today where 2 riders fell), what's the
feeling about his move in the pelaton?

Liggett said it was a brilliant ride, but I'm thinking there
are people who don't like Kirsipuu tonight.

Kirsipuu made that move because of another rider in front of
him who came off his line. I'm not sure which rider that
was, I think it was Tom Boonen.

It's peloton.

In the Netherlands, we have a special Usenet saying, or
disclaimer;

And when the day comes that riders really are robots, it'll
be the Pelotron.

Lyle is a Canadian. They're known for worrying about
spelling as if spelling World War II correctly excuses them
for doing so little.

With the "goog-goog-googly eyes"?

Yeah, but I'm not in the Netherlands. Someone was going to
correct "Peloton" anyway; it's a favourite hobby of the
newsgroup.

As for the feeling in the pelOton: it will be directed at
Boonen, not Kirsipuu.

Hey! My mother and her family were liberated by Canadians.

Dude... the guy who cannot spell PELOTON is from Cornell --
he's new to the sport and certainly should know better how
to spell a very common RBR word.

No reason to stick up for him. If the Cornell dude can spell
Kirsipuu he should be EXPECTED to spell "peloton" correctly.

It's "peloton".

I couldn't see from the coverage that it was Boonen causing
the reaction, but the rider that swung out was Jean-Patrick
Nazon (clearly wearing ugly dark glasses) not Kirsipuu.
Kirsipuu was on the inside of the turn (and doesn't wear
ugly sunglasses) and with his experience probably would not
have reacted the same way. Nazon could have avoided the
situation but it would have cost him his sprint.

No, it was Kirsipuu. In a short interview with Norwegian TV2
(which broadcasts TdF in Norway), he said he didn't realize
what had happened until he saw the replay on TV.

I thought it was Kirsipuu. He had an Ag2R jersey, finishing
behind his teammate Nazon.

It looked reckless to me to swing out like that. He was
clearly frustrated trying to get to the front.
