Sitcom plays pro

The Rolling Sitcom is evolving strangely. Attacks have been started when people drop their glasses. People are turning off the route when people are up the road, then calling their cell phones to let them know they now have to chase for several miles to catch back on. And people have been cutting courses to arrive at hills before everyone else. Maybe it should be expected since we are playing dress up and want to be like the pros. Exhibit A from CyclingNews.com:

"Several riders claimed that the Team Sky riders vented their anger on the peloton by blasting through the feed zone and then put the peloton in the gutter by riding a half-road echelon when the wind changed direction.

That especially angered the Cervelo Test Team, who retaliated by splitting the race when Boasson Hagen stopped for a leak 55km from the finish. Because he was race leader, Boasson Hagen had perhaps thought the peloton would wait for him, but in the heat of battle, nobody did and 41 riders group quickly formed an echelon and accelerated up the road."

"Racing is racing but perhaps it wasn't fair they attacked when Boasson Hagen stopped for a leak."

Thanks for explaining the recent strange behavior of the Sitcom. I thought we were acting out Lord of the Flies with me playing the role of Piggy....
