โ€œZero consequences who has caused a talented guy to miss half the season and isn't even taking responsibility for it.โ€

So this says that the punishment should differ based on whether the rider hurt is โ€œtalentedโ€ or not?

I feel this is being intentionally obtuse.

Where does the original message say what youโ€™re claiming? I only see that โ€œa talented guy is missing half the seasonโ€ which is true.

Itโ€™s the smarter tactical decision for sure. Nobody to blame here but IDT unfortunately, he should also take those tactics into consideration before sprinting for the win.

17.02.2026 18:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Other riders said they wouldnโ€™t be sprinting for the win specifically BECAUSE of this rule.

If IDT takes the win then surely he also knew about this?

17.02.2026 18:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Riders only have limited careers in the sport. If theyโ€™ve worked hard to cultivate a talent in their prime, then yes, itโ€™s really unfortunate that sprint deviations (which go largely unchecked by the UCI) can take away their chance to show those talents.

17.02.2026 18:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Penalties would fix this completely. IMO is totally on the UCI to correct this in the peloton. Otherwise riders will just continue to be hurt.
