where is this footage from?
-
@barchetta575m He made public statements about macca saying that he was drafting, but he was caught out because macca had a tv bike by him for alot of it! Faris had one great day and fair play to him, but he has to be the poorest of the last 10 years of champions....worst of a great group though!

@percdann It looks to me more like he's reprimanding him for staying behind the rider in front as opposed to telling him to take a turn or enforcing any kind of group riding. Whoever it is just seems to be cruising as opposed to going around the rider in front of him. I didn't watch the race or anything, but that's what I always got from this video. His motion is saying "Come on pass the guy, don't just sit there. Get on with the race." These are pros and champs, I doubt any of them would draft.

@percdann I wouldn't go as far as saying he was "enforcing group riding". The guy is a professional and Ironman World Champion (I mention that because if you have such credentials, you are doing somethin right) and as far as I am concerned he has never been subject to any penalties during his career. None of us were riding our bikes next to them, so we can't know for sure what he was communicating to Macca.

Faris Al-Sultan is such a sap, trying to get macca to 'take a turn' this aint the TDF, this aint draft legal so he should cop on and stop trying to enforce group riding etiquette
