Making Sure
Sammy Sanchez was raising his hands in a victory salute when he thought, "I'd better make sure he isn't going to jump me at the line." He takes a quick look behind him just to make sure the victory is his to celebrate. This is a wise move, it has happened that a victory salute taken too early has allowed another charging competitor to snag the win. A little bit nasty of a thing to do, but then all is fair in love and bike racing (although I hope we can now excluding doping from what is considered fair).
