I dont agree that the winner was going backwards. The rider knew where the line was and knew he had enough to win the race. Not by a whole lot but a comfortable enough margin. Sure he was getting tired, but there wasnt enough race track left for it to be a concern. I think the chance of him winning this race at this point was a lot lss than 10% and it would have taken a fall down from the winner for him to win, in which case he would have won because he was clear for 2nd. Ramon did his job.
