DQ for riders at Ronda hanging unto team vehicles?

Wheels of Happiness

This post saw several vids of several Ronda riders who clung to team or other vehicles while traversing mounting passes.  Some reacted for other netizens posting such video saying he experienced this and that and that the netizen had no right in posting the video.

Well he can say that again. I  saw a post and reposted  and asked several questions:

1.  Is it fake news.
2.  What are the Ronda rules?  Is this allowed?
3.   If it is not allowed and common sense dictates that this is illegal unsportsmanlike, and bad examples
      THEN THEY SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED.  

The riders are not juvenile nor are they short of IQ not to understand honesty, and sportsmanship.  We all ride and watch who is gong to be the best and strongest, not cheaters.  We hate cheaters  in govt, we also hate them at sporting events. 



Cheats had a heyday hanging on to a car and a van in Thursday’s eighth stage from Tarlac City to this tourist destination but their shenanigan method was caught on video and now, Excellent Noodles’ Mervin Corpuz, Team Quezon rider Jigo Mendoza and coach Melvin Aricayos and Eagle Cement cyclist Ed Robert Manucot won’t be racing anymore.

In foreign races, sticky fingers when handing out water bottles and even drafting are frowned upon and penalized by race officials.   And this.....
