Of course it does, because you've already got your mind made up that he is

guilty *regardless* of what actually happened.

I never said he had an *engine* fault, and I've never seen that re****ted 
anywhere. All that has been said is that he had a "mechanical issue" and 
that could have been anything from a blown tyre to no brakes.

As much as I don't mind a good stoush, and the though of taking on 50
lycra 
wearing homo***ual bicycle riders could make for an entertaining slap
fest, 
I don't blame the guy for getting out of Dodge in a hurry.

It doesn't matter if they were ****ing little old ladies with training 
wheels. The guy might have been the type who is frightened by his own 
shadow, and 50 pissed off people is enough for most.

Your bias in this case is staggering.
