  • whoooooooooa wahhhhhhhhhhhhhat is goooooooooooooooing oooooonnnnnnnn....oooooooooone­e of theeeeeeeeeeeee riddddddddddersssssss. poop

  • And only a one month ban...

  • Damn

  • Like a Bos!

  • fuck theo bos 

  • what the hell... Bos just threw him into the barriers

  • wish it would have been Mark Cavendish instead of Daryl Impey. Poor Daryl. =(

  • WE are talking about cycling, no about this country, tha country.........

  • WAHAHA +1000000000 Bos))

  • That is so fucked up. Why would he do that?

  • that looked deliberate!

    and there he goes again at the Vuelta

    "Bos escapes serious injury from nasty Vuelta a España crash"

    go to velonews.

    this kid should NOT be in ANY bike race!

  • bos the pussss n00b

  • when you look a few time you see that theo holds his ARM to impey to hold him of, en impey crosses him on the front. You have to look a few time to see it.

  • @lauranbeijens No, your wrong. If you look at the shirt, you clearly see he is being pulled. But maybe you "have to look a few times".

  • @ParDusta radioshack sucks! saxobank sungaard! theo boss is a great sprinter dont forget that!

  • @niclasoe with this disgusting move he made everyone forget that, the only thing we will think of when we hear his ugly name is this move. idiotic rider, should be banned.

  • haha

  • @xdmaciejek1 are you an idiot?

  • I believe Theo Bos and his story. Track racing is a pretty dirty in general, and I have rarely seen Bos do anything even agressive in general. He looked like he was just trying to either let him know he was right there, or catch his balance off of him. Who really knows what goes on out there though. Either way I am still a Theo Bos fan.

  • @ParDusta Theo Bos is on Cervelo Test Team, as of yet they sit higher than Team Radioshack on the UCI rankings..

  • Think it's pretty clear he was riding him into the fence. Need to give your competitors some room.

  • don't get in the way of a sprinter.

  • ill say this much that Theo Bos has some balls man ! That took GUTS !

  • scandaloso!!! e solo un mese di squalifica!!!

  • Do you think Theo Bos is that strong that he can throw a grown man with one hand into the fence? Please think before you judge!

  • Bos didnt do it on purpose. he lost control over his bike and was looking to grab something to get control back. Unfortunatly it was the yellow jersey. Ofcourse he should get a punishment but i think 1 month is good enough for both sides to live with.

  • The UCI has handed Rabobank's sprinter Theo Bos a one-month suspension for his run-in with Barloworld's Daryl Impey at the Presidential Tour of Turkey earlier this year. GOOD!!!

  • honestly, that's not enough.

  • I agree...

  • um mes de suspensão foi pouco para theo bos ,este cara tinha que sre banido do esporte.

  • Comment removed

  • ..funny how someone thinks ,he didn`do it on purpose. May be, they also believe in Santa Claus ?

    Bos knows, his career would be over if he wouldn`t deny what he did ! The sponsor should bann him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Bos falled self too, so why would he do it?

    LOOK GOOD AND WATCH HIS INTERVIEWS DUMBASSES!

  • Go away. It's just because you are from Holland and too proud of your country. Theo Bos is mad in the fucking head.

  • NO, just look good dumbass, your'e so fucking dumb, i ask it one more time:

    WHY WOULD YOU DO IT IF WILL FALL SELF TOO ????!!!

    i'm not proud of my country, this is a shit country...

  • Are you from Holland? If yes shut up you prick!!

  • Dutch people have opinions too dumbass!

    You stupid polish people come only to steal our jobs here in holland :@ so shut up!

  • Dutch suks, just take a look what kind of idiots are riding for your Rabo team:)

    If you are such a big loosers ,it is very simple to take your jobs.Now you have turkey people 80% of your population and 15% polish, 5 % is real dutch. hahaha

  • look what kind of dumbasses (like you) live in Poland..., it's a compleet mess there. and the polish teams suck...

    so... if I was you, I would shut up..., but you're not smart cause you don't look good and watch his interviews...

  • all people see what he did, so you( DUTCH) dont have to explain this situation.

    Agression makes agression. If you have problems with my comments first try to read it and than think.

  • i can read it... you can't look out of your eyes. and you can't find his interviews...

    it is tricky wat he was doing, but it was a knee from another rider who pushed Impey to the ground...

  • my god imagine that you are Impey... I dont see any knee or anything else. Probably you see it because he is from your country!

  • You really can't read:

    i'm not proud of my country, this is a shit country...

    (poland seems to be worse now :) )

    and watch other video's (i've seen it on television... that was high quality. youtube sucks... it makes al the vid's awfull.

    but i have respect for your opinion. it is tricky and a little bit stupid. Before this, he was world champion Sprint inside. so he has to get used to road cycling...

  • Same again....

    Just listen to the video comments, do you really have any doubts??!!!!

    i watched every videos with that situation. There is no excuse. I doesnt care that he is World Champion - no excuse for idiots!

  • get cancer asshole

  • all you cheap polish people need money so they come to holland. stupid

  • I wrote to Daryl. He's now back on the bike and doing very light training.. But he fully intends to come back, and he hasn't forgot what Bos did to him.

    Go Daryl!

  • Theo Bos needs to be banned forever !!!!

    KILLER !!!!!

  • he didn't that on purpose!!! :@

    if you look good, you can see him falling AFTER Bos touched him!!!

    :@

  • frisovn wtf is wrong with of course it was on purpose...

  • This is just pathetic

    This is easily the worst thing i have ever seen

  • fucker, look good!!! :@

    and watch his interviews :@

  • I raced bikes over a period of 20+ years. I haven't the slightest doubt that Bos's actions here are not intentional. I've had plenty of people ride extremely aggressively (as have I) in sprint finishes and NOBODY would intentionally pull a rider into themselves and into the barriers. Clearly, Bos was falling and like anyone who is falling, reached out and grabbed whatever he could to stop it. That the UCI would sanction Bos for this is absolutely ridiculous. It was a sprint accident.

  • Even if it was unintentional, Theo Bos should have known better than to bring someone down with him. I however, think it was intentional. Just look, he is grabbing his jersey before he ever comes too close to the barriers. Very unsportsmanlike. Also, he seems to push Impey out in front of him. If he was truly losing his balance, he would pull impey onto or at least right next to himself. I cannot believe this...

  • They could easily be going 35-40 mph. It is near the very end of the stage where sprinters often hit over 40 mph.

  • it is clearly visible that theo is allready crashing into the fence before Impey starts falling. theo is desperately holding on to him as he doesnt want to crash into the fence head first at this high speed. then apparantly something goes wrong with their bikes and they both crash down.

  • Very true. I was hit by a passing truck after a passing car drove by way too close many years ago while I was in my bike. My first reaction was the same as Theo did. You desperately try to grab something on the other side to keep your balance.

    Theo hit the foot of a fence which caused the bottom of his bike to go to the right and as a result of that (action-reaction) all his energy went in opposite direction.

  • You are Dutchmen, aren't you?

  • Yes, but that's irrelevant. I'd have the same opinion if he were from Wales/Egypt/Autralia or whatever country...

  • after seeing this i cant believe anyone with a working brain can still say that theo didnt throw that man to the ground. he clearly graps him you can see the shirt get wrinkled around his hands, that is NOT a push

  • Look @ 20''-21'' how Bos push DI into his Barloworld teammate (you can see because the barloworl teammate also moves to the right feeling the bump.

    22'' Bos already hitting the barrier (look how the barrier bends to the left now grabs DI I will say as reflex...If you were falling down and Marisa Miller was in front of you would you grab DD's or would you push?? .... so I would say he grab arm but nothing premeditated.

    Cheers!

  • how about not grab someone else when you fall? he must know that the other guy will fall aswell, its not like hes gonna pull himself up on someone that cycling next to him. its a good thing that theyre gonna ban him for 6 months

  • Theo only gave Daryl a light push to stay in the peloton, if he didn't he was fallen.

  • This is what it looks like in my perspective...

    Bos gets freaked a little by being too close to the barriers going 40mph... so then he might have got psyched... so he grabs impey to avoid going into the barriers from getting boxed in... then impey sees the guy in front of the two on left pulling ahead forward... so impey attempts to follow with Bo's hand still holding the jersey in attempt to avoid falling left into barriers (which is what happened anyways).

  • so then with impey pulling ahead forward a little bit to hold the line with the guy in front of both of them on left... this is what made bos's arm extend forward a little bit and appear it to be a push/drag down. There is absolutely no motive otherwise

  • What was his motive

    No Personal gain

    No history of being dirty

    High probability of serious harm to self

    Conclusion

    A fence screaming up at him and being queezed to the left led to a bad mistake and a panicked move.

  • @Livlifetaistdeth And suspension of Theo Bos by the UCI.

  • Lol, the eyedoctor needs a brain replant ;-)

    Would you pull somebody in front of your own wheel when going 50kmph+?

    Looks more that he is trying to hold him to the right. Look at his hand. The yellow jersey comes to the left first. On top of that: what would be his motive?

  • to caniget someshoes, I am an eye doctor actually and you need your eyes seen to!! it was a blatant mistake by Bos. you would think a trackie would have better skill. impeys's front wheel jamming - my ass!!

  • I have to admit at first I totally thought it was Bos's fault and that he should be banned for life. He clearly should not have taken his hands off his bike let alone grabed Impey but after watching it about 20 times and being a rider myself there is just no way you would pull somebody down in front of you on purpose going 40 miles an hour that is suicide I think he panicked and accedentally took Impey with him.

  • go with your first instinct, this was intentional

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • If that asshole didnt do that it would be a great finish.

  • Everyone who`s saying, he pulled him down, should go see an eye doctor.

    McEwen is right, it`s not Bos his fault, just an accident.

    Put it in big screen and watch it frame by frame and you see, he didn`t pull him down.

    The front wheel of Impey jammed and he fell to the left.

    It looks like he pulled him down, because his hand was at the shoulder off Impey.

    So, stop bashing him he didn`t deserve it.

  • Wow, really? What was it that jammed Impey's front wheel? I watched it in big screen as you suggested. It still looks like Bos is pulling him down. Are you watching a different version than everyone else?

  • haha SWEET, have fun waiting to die :]

  • Great Britain??? WTF...!

  • You're meaning and value of existence lack of abstraction. We all know you have made you're home meaning of life. I will not submit to something made up when riding my bicycle.

  • Theo Bos must be banned from Sport!!!

  • theo bos homo!

  • Hit Theo Bos where it hurts...

    Ban him for the rest of the year. He'll lose his job and pay.

    Besides, who wants to race with him anymore?

  • This is worse than the use of performance enhancing drugs! SHAME to his sport!

  • FOLLOW ME!!!

    TWITTER - YOUNG_PARIS

  • I see Bos pulling Impey not for bad intent but not to fall off his own bike, silly move at that speed.

  • and uci doesn`t punished him, wtf...

  • When someone comes on and says Impey is guilty they are just some idiot from NED or BEL. This just proves that those people are a bunch of ruthless assholes that automatically think that Rabobank has to be #1 and that cycling is similar to futbol. Theo Bos , his career is over so you Dutch should just stop backing him now.

  • Well hello mr fancy pants.

    You are:

    - making no sense

    - being offensive

    But no worries, although I am ruthless, I too believe he did in on purpose.

    Greetings from thosepeoplesland!

  • if it had not been the yellow jersey that he grabbed then we wouldn't even be talking about the stupid thing Bos did

  • wtf you really see hem pulling hem

  • Impey is guilty

  • Impey is the one getting pulled on his shirt idiot!!!!!!!!

  • Tour of Turkey? What's that???

  • a tour of Turkey... a couple of cycling races through Turkey...

  • hij had duidelijk genoeg ruimte, hij trok hem gewoon de hekken heen.

    maar het comentaar klopt ook niet met die tacktiek

  • did the guy manged to keep the yellow jersey?!

  • yes he won that race

  • WOooah WHHHAAAT IIISSSS GGGGGOOOOOOOOOINNNNNGG ONNNNNN ??? why the fuck is he pulling other people ??

  • It is official: Theo Boss is disqualified and gets a money panalty.

  • Waar kan ik dit nieuws bevestigd zien?

  • LOL at the slow commentary :p

  • What a d bag.

  • I wanted to see all the riders behind them go down.

  • @Hatchwork hello ass hole.

  • dumbass!!

    McKewen is the only opinion to listen to here- not some C grade rider from delawere

    bos is Boss!

    impey is Whimpy

  • Theo Bos be proud this is now the moment you will be known for your entire career. Bravo Theo, Bravo.

    You're not even worth getting angry at.  Your friends should reconsider their status.

  • Theo Bos is showing no remorse. After the race "he said he had good positioning and would have won" during the same breathe when he said he doesnt know why people are upset with him. Then today he says "So I am a disgrace to the profession" He shows no remorse. He is like Ivan Drago saying "If he dies, he dies" . I am going to simply stick my frame pump in his front spoke and that will be that. Its very simple, Theo Bos, this aint boxing you can be taken out in one foul swoop.

  • Bos do not flatter yourself. You are not a disgrace to the profession, you are not apart of the profession.

    Theo Bos needs to work in a place where nobody will care!

    A place where the workers have no minds like a Rennasiance Fair!

    Freecreditreportdotcom, tell your friends , tell your dad, tell your mom. Yall know you been singing our songs since we first showed up with our pirate hats on!

  • imo Bos is riding faster. He doesn't steer well and impey doesn't completely hold his line

    Hits Impey and is taking him down with some struggle at his steering.

  • Comment removed

  • The commentator is a disgrace for the proffession. Bos tries to push the rider forward to avoid a collision, bit said how people judge this.

  • If by "push" you mean "pull down because he is panicked and has no bike handling skills," then I agree with you.

  • Comment removed

  • I disagree. If he was trying to push him, he wouldn't have grabbed his jersey hard enough to pull him down. I'm not saying it was deliberate, but I think Bos panicked and caused both of them to crash.

  • So I´m a "disgrace for the proffession". Ok then, Bos did a great job avoiding the collision, didn´t he? Very smart.

  • you dont see the built up before this happens. That the result is they are falling is terrible to watch. But you supposed to be a professional . By making such big words and conclusions within a sec you lost your integrity as an journalist is my opinion. There are always to sides on a story.

    By the way i am sorry for both guys, and hope they will do well again.

  • And by saying that this is tactical (?) by bos, you clearly lost your respect, at least, by me.

  • Watch from 0:20 - 0:23. Bos is totally wrong, that is no excuse for this. If you guys think different you are watching a different video that I am.

  • And even if Impy was getting closer to Theo, that is no reason to pull Impy into the rail. One wrong does not justify another.

    Whoever said that "nobody can be so strong to turn somebody 180 degrees in a tenth of a second" has no idea of what they're talking about, and certainly is not a cyclist. When you are on a bike, a simple touch can bring you down, now imagine someone pulling your jersey on purspose, it can certainly cause that.

  • Contact happens in cycling all the time, but if you want to keep someone away when he is coming too close from you, you just gently push his hip, and the other cyclist will know he has to give you more room. If he doesn´t, you brake a little and let him pass. You just do not grab his jersey and pull into your side.

  • there is still an aggressive grab and pull, makes no sense

  • Absolutely fault of Theo Bos, there is no way of talking him out of this with the loads of excuses I have seen someone of you writing. The yellow shirt is just doing is race without any change of direction and all the dynamics of the accident are caused by Bos pulling the yelllow shirt. What an asshole, he should deserve 2 years of ban.

  • Comment of journalist was not recorded live !

    UCI is right, nobody can be so strong to turn somebody 180 degrees in a tenth of a second !

  • I luv it. Next time you run your mouth...think about if some guy is gonna rip you off your bike.

  • zoomed in camera shot, with slow mo on my youtube....

    see if you still think the same.....

  • watch?v=i8K_7bJQaaI&NR=1

  • Turkey tour?

  • The superficial viewer will obviously blame Bos. (blame on you Mr. Armstrong!)

    But it ain't that easy. The Committee made the right decision by not convicting Bos.

    Imho Impey and Bos are each to blame a mere 25%. The organizing committee the remaining 50.

    Compare for instance overtaking actions in Formula 1.

  • Comment removed

  • seems you never watch cycling, there is contact all the time

  • THis was intentional cyclist never touch each other unless they are from the same team, that is dirty

  • Again, the question is if there is premeditsated ill intend, aanswer, who would risk his own limbs and health by pulling someone in front of your wheels so you simply will crash to the ground yourself, deliberately. Answer NO ONE. concluion this was an unfortunatre accident that happend due to A, Impey leaving his path to the left andf B de fence being put in a dangeroius uneven way, and C Bos being unable to get out of that funnel spot at thqat high speed with a storming peloton at his tail

  • Bos deserves a 2 to 3 year ban!

    Impey might have corned him a little, almost pushing him into the fence but the way he reacted is absolutely disgusting! I'm quite certain he was pissed at Impey and therefore pulled him off his bike ... he should have know it's way to dangerous to try and pass everyone so close to the side in a sprint.

    And McEwen, he should keep his mouth shut! The guy has also caused a few sprintaccidents! And he always blames it on some other guy!

  • What a hypocrite, that Lance Armstrong. He and that Impey-thing should know better.

  • I wonder if most of the people watching this need new glasses.

    Do you see Bos' arm going out coming into contact with Impy and suddenly Impy going into the rail?

    Watch from 0:10 to 0:12.

    Did he do it maliciously? Did he do it because he was falling? It's very VERY obvious it was his fault Impy wrecked.

    There's ABSOLUTELY no doubt he pulled Impy into the rail.

    You have doubt? Go watch 0:10 - 0:12 over until it's gone. Hint: focus on the bottom of the picture, about 1/3 of the way in.

  • I'm pretty sure that this was not deliberate from Bos, for the following reasons:

    1. You can't see the jersey stretch, only when Bos hand is going from the back to the shoulder.

    2. When pulling was the reason, Impey's bike would fall to the right, this didn't happen

    3. Impey started to rotate, he was still on his bike when the bike was rotated 90 degrees!

    I think, Bos slided against the barriers, his bike slided to the right against the backwheel of Impey, therefore Impey started to rotate.

  • Gast bekijkt het nog ne keer! Op het moment dat hij Impey vastpakt heeft hij nog meer dan genoeg plaats om ofwel te af te remmen ofwel om Impey voorzichtig opzij te duwen!

  • Just look at how crooked the fences were placed, nothing Bos can be blamed for. Impey and Armstrong viciously mistaken and should offer apologies to Bos for blaming him imo.

    - Cycling fan

  • what a fucking bitch......he should be ban of this sport......

  • he should be banned from ALL sports

  • wat een gelul zeg Theo Bos zou dat nooit doen.

    Hij probeerde diegene weg te duwen en dat liep niet goed af helaas maar omdan dit te zeggen GELUL

    Theo Tha Best

  • Dwazen hollander....

    Voor mijn part mogen ze die kerel levenslang schorsen...

  • strange how many people who have never seen a cycling race before are the first to judge

  • yeah, who of all the people posting messages is really a cyclist? i mean a cyclist who rides for a team of club, not just for relaxation or something!

  • i am

  • Freeze the film at 0 and at 10 seconds.

    At 0 sec. Impey is locked up, wants to go left. A collision with the rider left (not Bos) can hardly be avoided. At 10 sec. Impey is still locked up, wants to join the faster riders on the left.

    And then,freeze at 10 sec.: look what Bos sees in front of him! He realizes that a collision cannot be avoided and panicks. Impey is to blame for wanting to leave his track, Bos is to blame for panicking and last but not least, the organization.

  • LOL. there is nothing to see at all from what you are trying (or willing) to see at 0 sec.. lol. Bos was indeed manouvred (by himself, bad tactics?) in a bad position. But hey, that is racing! He takes Impey, it is clear to see. He acted very unprofessional. Bos - olympic champion - is e new kit on the block. He needs to learn a lot!

  • Com'on! Just freeze the start of the film and analyze the situation!

    As far as someone is to blame it is Impey as much as Bos. Bos was just running faster than Impey and was confronted in a second with a situation he couldn't escape from. Take a good look at the winding road and blame the careless organization the most, I'd say.

  • This was a clear act of desperation. and with the weight of Impey already moving to the left to compensate the pushing of Bos to the right he now finds himself racing towards the fence and it looks like Bos is helping him in what looks like a very vicious act, instead Bos slows down and Daryl gets caught into his front wheel because of the shifting weight and the desperate pulling of Theo, I guess he really must have been panicking.

  • I hear nobody asking: Why were they riding that close to the fences? enough space on the other side. But IMO they were both wrong. Bos shouldn't have touched another rider and Impey could have known something was wrong and could've been more helpful, instead was not even thinking about moving to the right for a person like Theo Bos. this forced Bos to grab a hold of something (or someone) in order for him not to crash into the fence because his speed was to high to do something else about it...

  • Theo Bos is known as one of the fairest riders on track, and don't forget he's a multiple world champion and olympic medallist. He had nothing to gain by deliberately pulling down an opponent. Lance Armstrong should know the damage of false accusations...

  • Armstrong should know better, he had the crowd against him more times so he should know what false accusations can do to a rider,

    i agree with themostloved!

  • yes,i said miss armstrong;)

  • a bit naïve of ms.armstrong to think that someone would be so stupid and risk his career by pulling someone of his bike..come ooooon ey,everyone sees this is an incident except for the not so nice people lol they like to put the blame on someone,they actually enjoy it as well..they think they are saints but they are the opposite..Bos is a supernice guy and he is absolutely devastated now..thank you Lance and co.

  • No Sjaakstah. No blame in that situation for Imey. lol. No offensive block at all. Yes, ofcourse people want to manouvre Theo in a bad position, ofcourse they do. Thats how races go. lol.Theo lost his - unprofessional - mind. Theo is a bad looser. Needs to learn a lot.

  • to me it looks like Bos grabs that idiot Impey because he's pushing Bos into the fences!! Bos tries to push him forward a little, then hits one of the fences, falls and then takes Impey with him!

    if you look closely you'll see that Bos is the first to fall! you don't throw someone in front of your own bike..

  • Look better people. Impey is creating a block for Bos. He's going to the left while Bos already was next to him. Bos was faster. Impey was pushing Bos to the fences. I think Bos held him on purpose. But who would not if someone drove you to a line of fences with 50 mph?
