Gen Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 There is more news to follow with regard to the Sagan DQ.Bora Bora still awaiting outcome after appealing to Court of Arbitration for Sport. READ MORE HEREhttps://cyclingtips.com/2017/07/bora-hansgrohe-awaiting-outcome-appeal-cas-sagan-disqualification-action-possible/ Highly unlikely. But before PS was DQ'ed we all thought it is highly unlikely that they would DQ him... Still wouldn't put more than R50 on it... if they do get a favourable decision they could use that to take UCI to court for $$ Although the UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS provide unambiguously that it is mandatory to hear a rider before any disciplinary decision is taken (Rule 12.2.006: „The Commissaires Panel may judge the matter only if the offending party has had a chance to defend his point of view […]“), Peter Sagan has not been given an opportunity to explain to the „Commissaires Panel“ his point of view. Bora's statement https://www.bora-hansgrohe.com/en/news/pressemeldungen/presseinformation-zum-tour-de-france-ausschluss-von-peter-sagan/10983587 If they find that the UCI didn't follow due process UCI are going to have big problems. I say go Bora..even though it would be near impossible for him to come back to the race even if they were successful with the CAS. at least they are standing up to the UCI Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Reminds me of Tony Martin who went head first into a hedge during last season Somewhere in Belgium, I thinkHe was unscathed fortunately.

He lost 2 stages so won't be allowed to rejoin the race.

Jeez he makes a habit of it. I can remember it happening to him in the '14 Amstel Gold Race too.
shaper Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Green jeresey holder Arnaud Demare (FDJ) finished fourth in the intermediate sprint (km 135) 1'05” behind the escapees, ahead of Michael Matthews (Sunweb). With his 45th day in the yellow jersey today, Chris Froome keeps trailing Jacques Anquetil, who spent 50 days (and 52 stages because of half-stages) in yellow between 1957 and 1964. Only Miguel indurain (60 days) and the incomparable Eddy Merckx (111) have done better.

Controversial figure of Armstrong not on that list can be let go (at least until Friday), but Bernard Hinault?
FCH Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 to set the standard that rules go both ways.whats the benefits?He lost 2 stages so won't be allowed to rejoin the race.

I cannot believe Bernard Hinault is not higher on the list. That baffles me. TIL!
Gen Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 whats the benefits? He lost 2 stages so won't be allowed to rejoin the race.If found the UCI didn't follow due process, I reckon they will use it to take them to court for for $$$.. they would however have to prove that in court... BUT it's making a stand against the all powerful UCI. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Bub Marley Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 They could just let him back in and win some more stages. More exposure for the brand etc. Probably be unfair on the other riders though given that he'd have some days rest.
shaper Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Well they obviously don't feel that way..[emoji6] Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkThe fact that he got DQ's has probably given his sponsors more website clicks and internet searches than they ever would have had if he had stayed in the TdF And what they doing now... is trying to keep the click bait going
gummibear Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Wonder if the sprints will get boring now and guys will be to scared of getting kicked out[emoji15][emoji15]
