Ok, this is getting confusing. What am I missing? I didn't watch this, but the live report on cyclingnews.com seemed to indicate that from the 10k to go mark, Devolder did no work. What are you refering to when you are saying that Gilbert was sitting on? I think that if Devolder did no work, Gilbert had a right to be a bit pi$$ed.
Sure, Devolder was told not to work by Demol, but that doesn't mean he had to listen, his radio could have been on the blink.
, and it seems Devolder told Gilbert his orders in the final kilos, but if I were Gilbert, I'd say screw your orders, let's get on the podium, and I'd have given Devolder
and Demol the international signal.
Seems Postal is developing a pattern of telling it's riders not to work in breaks, ala Hincapie in the TDF.
