Upon further review...

So after yesterday's rant, I thought I'd be critical of myself today. Fuck that. I was right about said douchebags.

Further insight however makes it a bit more clear. Aside from the "fuck him, he's Frankie the Squealer", riders are just genuinely surprised that Frankie is asking them such retarded questions.

The whole inner workings of our beloved cycling are being dumbed down for the masses by our Versus and Velonews TV coverage. So when a vet like Frankie comes in hot with some of these lame questions, the riders are giving him the "really!?" face before they realize he's serious.

That Neal Rogers douche on the other hand maybe has lower expectations from the riders, but he still gets the face. Basically because he's just a regular douche. Frankie is a veteran 'should know better' douche.
