WTF, Sagan pushing Cavendish right into the barriers with his elbow

I hope to see some more angles, but that helicopter shot really looked like we're now waiting for Sagan to be declassified.

Video from the front. Sagan elbowing Cavendish in the barriers at 70 km/h and Degenkolb had no option but to ride straight over his face, this could have ended up extremely bad..

Sagan had no fault what so ever. He was ahead and ran his line when the brit jumped on his back and wanted to move in a dead space. Typical Cavendish BS.

No way Cavendish 'jumped on his back', he was accelerating there when Sagan was 10 meters away from the barriers before Sagan moved all the way into the barriers and then opened up his elbow right in Cavendish' face.

 

I really hope Sagan will be quite severely punished for this, and I say that as someone who very much likes Sagan and very much dislikes Cavendish (because of bullcrap like causing that fall in the omnium in Rio). But liking or not liking riders aside, there is a line that Cavendish has crossed more than once before, but Sagan crossed today.

The video from the helicopter is quite clear...I don't think a declassification is enough for what Sagan did.

You people must be blind. Not once did Sagan's hand leave the handle and his elbow reajusted to keep his balance when cavendish jumped him in the back or else he would also be in the baricades. He doesn't have eyes on his back to see who is comming where. Cavendish should blame only himself for smashing like a potato.
