@JixTheGamer If he went off the road/cut the coarse to gain time, he would definitely get into trouble. In this case though, the race officials allowed it without punishment because it was obvious he didn't do it to gain time, but to avoid a crash. He actually lost time. You notice when he gets on the road, the people who were behind him pass him, he then had to work hard to catch up (starting at 0 mph vs ppl passing you at 30mph).

@NassguI you know what is the most important event in the world? He won it 7 times you fucking chico. Resume your insignificance and stfu.

Although what Armstrong did was pretty good, this crash did effectively end Beloki's career. It's a shame people don't remember this as much, as he was a easily a podium favourite.

@KeelanMcDorman They are doing speeds of up to around 70 miles per hour or 110 kilometres per hour. Those are speeds on the straight sections of course, not average speeds.

[KeelanMcDorman]

@aJDfMDl lol they arent doing speeds of 60-80 mph, there are doing 60-80 KILOMETERS per hour. Every once and a whole they will go 60mph on a steep decent. but they definatley never come even close to 80.

@aJDfMDl Yeah, doing 500mph right after corner... Riders coming down were on the right because from the left corner you exit on the right side of the road, and he deliberatly mount in front of them, so they have to slow and avoid him on the left to cut his loses. And the guy who stoped together with him but chose road route, gets to that point later than him

Whether an Armstrong fan or not. That was impressive under pressure.

suck a star i would call that fucking cheating!! asshole!

[bassfacedan]

not really that impressive...

[aJDfMDl]

@CroTomCat, I'm not sure if you noticed but Armstrong actually lost time by cutting the corner, obviously it is faster to follow the road. He had to go on the right side of the road becuase the riders coming down were on the left, he definately wouldn't have deliberately cut off other riders, especially when they're doing speeds of 60-80mph.
