Empowering them in their ineptitude is not being helpful. Yelling at them whilst arm-flapping would do more for their long-term survival.

He did stop his intervals for two OBVIOUS Freds. The guys a saint. Do realize that one act may have limited his podium potential.

Ok so one had a flat and the other was calling on her phone for help. Only one was stranded, the other just didn't know what to do. I was just trying to be concise.

Just thought I'd inject a little anti-roadies-are-aholes sentiment into the bikeforumsverse.
