Whilst I agree that racing is racing and understand its hard for the "unwritten rules" to be enforced, I would be concerned by some of the suggestions that they should completely disregard these "unwritten rules". Given the desire to win amongst any professional bike racer/team then I can see a conscious scrapping of the unwritten codes of conduct resulting in deliberate attempts to cause crashes to competitor riders if they think they can disguise it as accidental knowing it could result in advantage for a team leader etc. Am I over thinking this? I'm not saying any pro would want to deliberately cause harm to another cyclist but in the heat of battle?...
