Yeah, just checked it out on velonation:

 

 

The yellow jersey group was now within 6’40” of the three leaders, with just 50km to go, but the race commissaire - deciding that the riders had disobeyed the lights on the railway crossing, as well as the waved instructions of a moto marshall - that they had unlawfully crossed the railway crossing and should slow down and wait for the rest.

Yeah, have to wonder what would happen if it did not involve a high profile rider like Sagan.

Hmm now reading the velonation link I'm a bit confused as to who is guilty of ignoring the stop instructions, seems like Costa and not Sagan...

[bassasdaindia]

You started it...

 

Nah, I think there's more juice when it comes to controversy involving the local PROs.

in 2006 Paris Roubaix Leif Hoste, Peter Van Petegem and Vladimir Gusev were disqualified for riding through a closed train crossing 10 km before the finish and just ahead of an approaching freight train. Fabian Cancellara won and Tom Boonen and Alessandro Ballan were given the remaining places on the podium.

I guess the difference is that the comm had more time to "neutralise" the race and let the peloton regroup.

yes,but the comm made no secret of the decision,and consulted with the other comm's before making the decision,it was not swept under the carpet

[babse]

who really came 2nd?

[Eugene Oppelt]

Hmmm...

Inevitable resurrection, babse

[RockCoach]

Haha. I was wondering if this would come up.

[ZakAttak]

And if the new 2nd place winners have an issue with the outside help Burry got, can they still contest?
