No, it's your narrative that he's unfairly being set upon for his race. I'm providing examples of when he's been publicly violent, and Bauer never said the punch never landed-but equally if he's being unfairly targeted Bauer could have made much more of it.
If you don't want that incident there was two others in 2017, elbowing Maldonado in the Tour de l'Ain in August, at Paris–Bourges he had to be separated from Rudy Barbier, 2016 gets canned from the tour for punching a 57 year old German man (who also claimed Bouhanni's brother was present and kicked him in the head) and his run in with Kristoff that was roundly condemned: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/no-penalties-come-from-criterium-du-dauphine-sprint-but-riders-call-foul/
As someone who himself cultivates a public image based on fighting and states "boxing is my passion cycling is my job" I don't understand how or why after you propose this is racism in action you're trying to flip this into my 'narrative' but hey... Three DS's have now shitcanned him for acting up then mouthing off in the press and they must have swastikas tattooed on their chests.

Yet you’re judging him because he boxes and enjoyed his national service, somehow that makes him a thug?
Madiot didn’t have the budget to keep him, Demare and Pinot and made a decision to let Bouhanni go. That’s his prerogative, but he didn’t ‘shit can’ him.
Cedric Vasseur is a cretin, yet another example of bad decision making by Cofidis, the company, of appointing cretins to run Cofidis, the team. The results never improve so they blame the riders, Bouhanni is the latest example in a long, long history.
My view is that Bouhanni is similar to other sprinters, he gets involved in incidents like them, he makes public comments that make you cringe like them, especially in the heat of the moment after races, yet he is demonised by the cycling press as being a thug. Other sprinters don’t get demonised in the same way, so my hunch is that it is because he is of North African descent.
You seem to have bought into that narrative.

The Jack Bauer punch never even landed. Bauer himself described it as a racing incident that happens and thought any punishment was harsh.
The ‘headbutt’ was part of a fight for position, it happens often, riders get disqualified and move on.
Your twisting events to fit your narrative.
