Crank-yanker

Being a commissarie i am disappointed when i hear that riders think they have some right to abuse another rider as to whether they do or do not do any turns during a race (there are no regulations that say you have to do turns, it is only etiquette) The rider that was abused should have taken his concerns to the Commas sire of the day.

Masso,

I agree people should not be abused (as in foul language) but I have been pulled up in the past for expressing, in strong and perhaps unfavourable terms, my disdain at perpetual wheelsitters - the same people, week in, week out, who only come through in the sprint and then stuff that up as well.  Yeah, I know, the answer is to be strong enough to ride my own race and beat the lazy people in the sprint, but it is just poor form.

I expect many do not want to go running off the the Commissaire all the time - it is kind of like dobbing, and most prefer to deal with it personally.
