Filippo Simeoni Unwelcome in the Peloton (http://www.velonews.com/tour2004/details/articles/6647.0.html)
Anyone have comments on the situation??
That's the first I heard of this incident.
I thought it was very interesting regarding the politics of cycling and how Lance said he was defending all the cyclists in the Peloton from someone within their group who is trying to destroy the sport.
I heard Bernard Hinault use to do this too when guys tried to breakaway and he felt that they shouldn't (not sure of the details but I think I heard it on OLN during one of the Road to the Tour episodes).
