If she was relegated, she'd be relegated to the last place in the group she was in at the finish.

A virtual penalty, nothing changes so is it a penalty? I imagine Borghini knew Van Vleuten was injured yet bumped her cast. Doesn't feel fair, although 'rules are rules'... call me chauvinistic but I would have loved to see Vos on #3, that would certainly have been te best podium ever.

A disqualification should only happen if the move was dangerous. That move wasn't. It could potentially be seen as cynical, but equally it could've been accidental as Longo Borghini gave it everything to beat Van Vleuten. It's part and parcel of sprinting, especially in a head to head sprint.
