He had a horrific crash at the Tour of Yorkshire, the lingering effects of which undermined his Tour preparation.
All sprinters have disagreements with other riders, it comes with the territory. They also tend to be aggressive characters off the bike too. Everyone cites the fight he had prior to the 2016 Tour as evidence of his character, but he was never charged with a criminal offence.
I do wonder if the criticism he gets is partly driven by his North African heritage.
