The fan was trying to give him a shove up the hill and hosed it up? That's the charitable explanation, but dumb any way you look at it

Same corner that the police chucked the fan over I think. Perhaps trying to make a point about the heavy handed policing so far?

From twitter the fan that pushed over the Katusha rider has down syndrome. His father was trying to drag him back but couldn't stop him in time.

Astana needs to do their best to build a train for Lopez. I'd love to see them try to take down Sky.

Astana is probably more at odds with itself trying to decide if Lopez can last the final week vs Aru the designated leader for the Vuelta.

They're not riding for Aru half the time anyway. Might as well just tell Lopez to go for broke and see what happens.

Yea, let him off the leash and let him work for himself. It gets coverage. I was thinking that they could get some guys from Cannondale next season.
