he literally chucked a bike at another rider. Where's the hyperbole?

vid when at normal speed looks much worse-hits two riders, one getting up and one on the deck. fair enough that he got canned, what a fud.

Left turn lads...

c'mon casper...

Great ride from the Dane

25k out front? Well deserved... really thought he was going to fade just before the line

Such a fucking boss!

those riders going straight through the roundabout was pure lols... must be so annoying for them

ha! dropped the f-bomb in the interview if I'm not mistaken too

More than once. And then a recovery beer. Boss.

Brian Holm suggested they were trying to escape the doping control...

Interesting overview of the team budgets & medals won this Track Worlds, especially DK with the smallest budget, also DE & NL more than worth the money

Well, 'hyperbole' is composed from the Ancient Greek words for 'above' and 'throw'. :)

What's with you and always defending Moscon, is he a relative?

Always defends Bouhanni too.

Must have a thing for strong, brooding and misunderstood types that routinely lash out at those around them...

I just a boxer and my story is seldom told.

Swap him for chlorinated chivken .

Moscon on a roll-Lanterne Rouge saw his Twitter likes included a porn video featuring a group of guys pissing in a woman's mouth... A bit later deleted, then whole account deleted after. I wonder who had to phone him and let him know?

From marginal gains to marginal brains!

I don’t always defend him, and don’t think I was necessarily defending him here. The accusation was that he threw a bike onto a pile of bodies after a crash. Clearly he didn’t, he threw a bike in frustration and it looks like it hit one rider.

The guy clearly needs to work on his anger management but, in the same way Bouhanni is always cited as being a rotten apple, the media have a familiar trope with Moscon, which means they can trot out another click bait article about what a wanker he is. Like Cycling Weekly did yesterday. Look at it a bit more objectively and most of what he is accused of happens day in day out in pro racing and it’s just an opportunity to trot out more click bait.

i liked it when he "punched" someone and people on here lost their shit. it was honestly like this

He could have looked a bit more objectively at where he threw that bike, don't you think?

You move bikes, you don't throw them. I know they're just sponsor kit but if someone did that in a race back home they'd have found themselves in the ditch wondering why their nose is now smeared across their face.

alright chill out gordon tallis
