Just because everyone does it doesn't excuse it. He was standing around at the side of the road considering abandoning for half a minute until his DS 'persuaded' him to continue. Magic spanner is one thing, it's another to get a tow up a hill. Wasn't there complaints from other riders recently after Bouhanni was pushed up a climb by his teammates and then went on to win the race? Same difference

Can you provide evidence of your assertion that he stood at the side of the road for 30 seconds? He was up and away quickly from what I can remember, quicker than Matthews.
There's still no evidence of him getting a tow, he admits he drafted, he probably got a sticky bottle, but this hysteria about him being DQ'd for a tow has no evidence to support it.

How do we know Swift didn't benefit from a touch of the 'magic spanner' earlier in the race? I demand he releases his data too. And Roelandts, and Bouhanni.
