Contador removed his helmet briefly yesterday. According to the rules he should've been disqualified.
Which would've been ridiculous, but the inconsistency is the issue here. Porte already lost 47 seconds because of his misfortune, to then punish him further is ridiculous. Even more so when it transpires that the commissaires didn't see the offence, neither did the TV cameras record it, instead one race photographer publishes the photo and that's enough to condemn Porte.
Farcical.
