I love that even though it looks like he injured his shoulder, he has enough strength to give the bike the ol' pavement kiss of death.

Although that IS the Giant Propel and it does weigh less than a feather.

So, typically you post spoilers in the text, not the title, so they can be avoided. Thanks.

now that bike is "race tested."

I'm not sure why "spoiler" was in the title to begin with, unless Tirenno-Adriatico has been changed to a bike-throwing points contest.

There is just no pleasing anybody is there? I got flack for posting a massive crash in one of the smaller stage races and not posting spoiler because it showed some of the big name riders not finishing (even though it didn't reveal the winner). And now I catch flack for putting up a spoiler warning?

I figure Kittel was a big name and knowing that he was out of the sprint would ruin the finish for some people.

My bad. Apologies. I saw the title and knew it was a sprint finish and assumed. Did not watch the clip. Sorry for being a dick.

Well, I did post a slightly leading title. In my haste to use the Hulk moniker, I forgot that it could mean going Hulk in the sprint (which would warrant the criticism because what's the point of a spoiler tag if there's a spoiler in the tag). But I did want to use Hulk because:

A. Kittel is literally two or three times wider than most cyclists
B. Hulk SMASH!

I mean, even if there was a spoiler... if I don't want a bike race spoiled for me before I watch it I make it a point to avoid cycling forums and cycling news sites.

[Bruce K]

I think he means banned for the kind of ranting bad language / personal attack exhibited above -

Not for being lame and posting race result info in a title

Nope, that's my bad. I quoted the wrong quote. Should have been the post above yours.

[cash05458]

ok...well maybe I am wrong...but did Kittel wind today...if not...I guess ok...

Boy, I guess going Hulk doesn't mean smashing things anymore.

I did not ruin the final results of the race. In fact, the title and the video reveal absolutely nothing about the actual winner of the race.

[cash05458]

yeah fine...but this thread has been ridiculous...honestly...think about what you start...
