Geraint Status? (Spoiler alert)

I just saw it on Twitter this morning. He hit his head and needed stitches above an eye and was forced off of his bike by the team doctors. Lost his glasses too! So much for his Tour de Suisse.

Beloki is out, too. Carnage.

I think Egan's mom has been cruising the sidelines.

Spoiler alert my a$$....

No offense to the OP, but it's ridiculous that someone feels like they have to put a "spoiler alert" on a forum thread.

If people don't want to be "spoiled," stay the hell away from forums. Or even better, the internet. Or better yet, anywhere other than their closet.

Although I don't think that this thread title is a spoiler, with or without the warning, the OP was just following BF rules:

Rule or not, I still say it's ridiculous. What's "spoiled" these days are people in general. Especially the younger generations. But that's another topic for conversation.

Again, no offense to the OP. I'm sure he was just doing what he thought he should.

Got it. And they should all get off your lawn, too.
