The race was blown apart by crosswinds, Kittel was fighting with position alongside an unnamed Astana rider, and used his size to push in. Grivko took exception, rode up to Kittel and punched him.
The former is a racing incident, the latter has crossed the line. Disqualification is the right decision.
What's the story? Was he trying to be big man of the peloton and Grivko wasn't going to have it?
