Insert rider x thinks x is a cunt here.
Riders say Demarre is a cunt too. Bouhanni's got form for publicly being a nasty, violent prick and gets shit the same way people gave Cav shit when he was being obnoxious back in his younger middle finger days. Perhaps an element of that is from his upbringing and people being racist to him, perhaps he's just a total walloper and gets in people's faces. Not really something to predict although if he just came out and said "the peloton is full of racist fucks and it pisses me off" I'd certainly have more sympathy for him.

I think it's probably the case that a few riders know he's got a short temper and don't really like him, so they pick on him to try to get a reaction. Like bullying basically.
Going back a few pages, I too wonder if it does have something to do with racism as well. Berhane and Reza have both been racially abused in the pro peloton and they seem like quite unassuming people, you have to wonder whether with someone like Bouhanni, who is not only 'other' but quite prickly too, whether that is a factor in how he is treated in the peloton and online.
