I’ve read a number of accounts and reports on Mr Simeoni, with particular reference to the incident where he was chased down by LA for daring to speak up against Dr Ferrari. The accounts tend to describe him as being mediocre, a ‘not very good rider’ or a bit of a nobody. Perhaps you only have the right to complain about being treated like sh*t if your palmares bulges like a teenage mother’s maternity dress? Calling him a ‘whinger’ slots neatly into the feudal forelock tugging that characterises the peloton. God forbid that anyone should rock the boat, eh?
I think he has every right to be p*ssed off.
