From Inrng? Also has this:

In cycling terms you can invest in training camps and mobile homes for “marginal gains” to save seconds but printing out a PDF of the rulebook and teaching riders the basic rules of pro cycling on a wet December afternoon could have saved minutes: Chapter 2 of the UCI rules says several times in black and white that you can’t take wheels from another team.

Inrng is being pretty pompous about it. Heat of the moment and all that, and as AndyP has pointed out, the circumstances of the flat caused the urgency that meant Clarke gave up his wheel. OGE and Sky to team up for the rest of the Giro, Aussies of the world unite and all that

Agree with this - Inrng's response has been pretty sanctimonious and ignores the real substance of the case.

Perhaps the punishment should have been the time taken for his team mates to get over to him - plus a few more seconds. A handicap rather than a hobbling.
