UCI really need to step up their game. If you're gonna DQ someone for something that happened with 120+ kilometers to go, take them out of the race instead of waiting until after the race. The situation was very clearly on screen, could have made the decision within 5 minutes. Once that decision wasn't made, you could assume nothing was wrong, since this thing (and way worse) happens a million times in races without any sort of punishment, but there you go. I wonder if FIFA is going to see a foul by Messi, wait until he scored three goals, and then gives him a red card and takes away the goals after the match Now the entire last 20-30 kilometers of the race were pretty much made by someone who - according to UCI - shouldn't have been there anymore, yet they didn't take him out yet UCI making themselves look silly again
Nothing wrong with the sprint, although it was obvious not everyone is a master in positioning yet.
