....but since when did eating become a "silly thing...non-race related strange behavior"?? Bahati can talk all the **** he wants about the appropriateness of that rider deciding to eat in that particular event and at that particular time, but to call eating in a race a "silly thing...non-race related strange behavior" is just simply incorrect and, well, silly.


I think Bahati was referring to the fact that the person might have been able to ingest a Cliff Shot/Gu or something that didn't require a prolonged absence from the bars in a short race. Not that eating at all during a race is wrong.
