Do you really think he did that on purpose? That his bike handling skills are so good that he can purposefully cause a crash that takes out his main rival? Sheesh.
It was a mistake, in the heat of the moment and one he knows he made. The Korean rider also made a mistake, as he was overlapping on Cavendish's inside. I don't see much criticism of Viviani, who made a similar movement on the French rider late on in the race but thankfully both stayed upright.
These things happen in races, having a witch hunt on social media afterwards changes nothing.

The whole thing is just bizarre. I'm glad the Dutch journalist could see the massive elephant in the room.
If that's a real exchange it'seems a very strange reaction. But in some way I do admire his complete lack of media polish.

But he doesn't flinch. At all.
I wondered if that was because he has more experience of bikey argy-bargy (that's a technical term) and if you want to not fall over you don't flinch or look round, even if you feel a hit.

I agree. It's crazy talk.
But he doesn't flinch. At all.
Can you conceive of diving down the banking in an Olympic final points race and riding straight into a bike that you had no idea was there, and not doing a massive "WTF was that?" flinch?
Maybe I'm just naive about his level of focus.
