Virenque
April 20th, 2007 |OK, here is the deal with the video.
Virenque has two of his team mates up the road, Herve and Rous. He is riding with a group that has dropped the yellow jersey, Ullrich.
Ullrich is totally under pressure and starting to panic about Virenque.
Some questions:
• Why did Virenque send his two team mates up the road instead of working with his group to put more time into Ullrich?
• Once he did have his team mates up the road why did Virenque chose to go to the front and work to chase his team mates down?
• Why was Virenque asking the other members of his group to help chase down his team mates?
Instead of taking advantage of Ullrich’s moment of crisis, Virenque instead wasted an opportunity to keep him under pressure.
The only conclusion that I can come to is that Virenque does not know how to race unless the road is pointing up.
