The attack was out of a leading group of 15 riders. To my defense, I didn't realize it and I could not check after the attack, how many riders were in the leading group before the attack. So I trusted the chat and interpreted that it were less than 15 riders, but in fact it were exactly 15 riders as seen in the replay, which makes it technically a team attack.

Schappy(15:54): some much rules in this one rule
Schappy(15:54): a less then 16 riders
CircleCycle(15:54): Trutat in front should be enough, no?
Big Donkey(15:54): Group small enough, under 15 riders I'm pretty sure
T-Mobile-A(15:54): good point
Schappy(15:53): not enough riders for a team attack or not?

I cannot predict what would have happened if I had dropped one rider then. Stage winner Oberdorf came from another group. Time differences could be different, but difficult to say for me. So I leave that to FPC. Also I will abstain from my own vote in this case. If there is a fine or a time penalty, I will accept it.

We all doesnt realize this right. But in this case, the sense of the rule should be relevant for the judgement. It was for all of us for the feeling the ende of the race and a small group and in my opinion in this case everything is fine. Small group, stage and GK fight. But only my opinion no blaming for this

FPC is reviewing this case

Some things never change I see

He's alive!

FPC DECISION: No fine, no ban

Neglectable impact and reasonable behaviour. Although waking up Luques migth even deserve a reward.
