  • At the risk of prolonging the prolonged post-Sagan-DQ analysis even further, isn't it a bit odd that the race jury announce one punishment, then go away and have a think about it, and then come back with another one? Surely the jury shouldn't reach a decision until it has all the facts and has considered the matter fully in the first place?

  • There's no provision in the rules for appeals so I think what happened is that they came to a fair decision, Bora-Hansgrohe kicked up a stink, the Commissaires fucked them off.

  • Understandable on a human level if true, but hardly judicial, which is what the race jury is supposed to be. Ah well, comissaires, scrutineers and all other clipboard-wielding officious types are a bane of everyone's life at some point, I suspect.
