That's fair enough but Moscon was called out on it and punished (even if this was tokenistic) if fellow pros are calling him out publicly for being a thug and he just shrugs then it doesn't really seem logical to assume they'd be more tolerant of him if he was white? Cav certainly gets called out often enough for being a dick and his rap sheet pales in comparison to Bouhanni's...
The guy states he loved being a cop and that's what he'd be doing if he weren't a pro cyclist so that's enough for me...

I've wondered the same thing.
The Moscon incidents and the other racist abuse faced by cyclists of colour suggest the pro-peloton is still not the most welcoming of places, so the hostility might stem from having someone who doesn't fit the 'norm' in terms of background or behaviour.
