So, the TDF is essentially over for me, unless the decision to eject Sagan is appealed and reversed. Though i doubt there is a possibly of that. UCI would have to agree that they made a snap judgement and were wrong for that to happen. Not because Sagan is gone, but i just can't get behind the decision.
It's my opinion, after watching several angles frame by frame, that Sagan's elbow didn't move until Cav was already on the way down. Further, i believe Cav's left hood is what forced Sagan's elbow outward.
I despise that governing bodies feel the need to appease the masses instantly. Take a little time, look at everything in depth, talk to BOTH riders separately and together, THEN make a decision.
I haven't got a dog in the fight, but it's bullshit decision in my opinion.
