Looked to me that cav leaned in to him as the hole he was trying to squeeze through was closing up fast. Sagan will have had to lean back or go down. The elbow seemed to come out after cav was already on a way one trip to the deck and was probably a reaction to his frustration that they'd collided/a balancing necessity. In essence the real question is did Sagan have space to his left or was he forced to squeeze cav like that. If he didn't need to squeeze him into the barriers then maybe the ban is fair. I think the elbow is a red herring as it was over by then. Just my view.
It will be a lesser tdf without Sagan though. Cav too of course.
