You're awfy depressing Bose, you're negative about many things. If you don't like it, fine. You just don't need to keep posting it, on and on and on...
And Bose, it could be worse. It could be this game
And yeah, this game is for fun, not for simulation.
Thats why I still play Toca Race Driver 3, Driv3r. For fun. Not because I want to be gobsmacked by how realistic it is when I smack someone down at 60mph.
Seriously, just f**k off. I'm sick of logging on and finding you bitching about people, then going on the offensive as soon as they reply to it. I bet you'll go apesh1t over this. Go away.
EDIT: My role model is probably Bradley Wiggins or Ayrton Senna.
Okay, Jets like the Jaguar have an exception. They come before the technically advanced era where these planes can practically fly themselves and the pilot is there 'just in case.'
I know what I'm talking about as I go out and race on a real bike in real life too. Its how it works, and if you want to trick yourself into this "Gentlemens Code" rubbish then feel free, but it doesn't exist. Maybe just not with who you race.
Thats how it is in cycling. If your rival has a problem, don't give them a chance to get back, you make the most of an opportunity. This situation is transferable to many other things, and a few examples have been posted already. It's hardly a controversy.
The thing I don't like about modern cycling is the team radio. Its better when riders don't know if the breakaway is 15 minutes ahead with 2km left, or that they're being reeled in, 30 seconds round the next bend, 40km from the start. I'd really like to see a tour with no radios one year, but I doubt that'll happen. Sure, there are day stages, but most riders huffed IIRC.
But its still the hardest race out there, one of the hardest sports, and thats why I love it so. If I'm lucky, look out for me in there in a few years. Its my dream goal.
But the thing is, that weight gets multiplied as it spins (or so I believe) so it would become slightly harder per revolution of the peddles, not much, but over the stage, it could make all the difference.
I'm actually glad Frank crashed out, Andy had an annoying habit of waiting for him too much. Now there is no Frank, Andy is free to go, and we see that he does, now he doesn't feel compelled to look back for his brother.
The headbutting is acceptable, its a trait carried over from track cycling, because at that speed, if Dean were to catch Renshaw and they went down, the peloton would go charging into them at 50mph, and it would be catastrophic. All the good sprinters down and injured, because they would have been right behind, so to hold the line and avoid a major crash, thats the only way apart from shouting, but that doesn't really work, and if you think they can take their hands off the bars and push at that speed, Newtons Third Law will tell you differently.
Plus, its harder to keep the speed up with one hand on the bar, the deceleration would possibly cause Renshaw to go down. So I see nothing wrong with the headbutt.
However, where the problem lies is Renshaw moving over on Farrar, ruining any chance. That was a predetermined thing, rather than reactions, so that might be why he got booted out. Still, everyone I've spoken to agrees it was overkill, and the UCI seem to have it in for Cav. We agreed that a relegation/fine would have been good enough, with a strict caution.
Of course he will, he HATES Contador

Also, I wish C. Evans would attack more. Maybe last year, when he was in better form, but he just sits and follows. Annoys me.

If I had the money to buy a server, or the equipment to host one, I would set up a decent server for the LXs and the RAC. They get disregarded as they can be a bit of a handful to learn, but thats just people giving in too easy. Now I can (almost) keep it in a straight line, the RAC is my favourite car. Its rewarding to learn.
