    The overhead replay is not kind to Sagan, who appears to make a deliberate movement with his arm as he collides with Cavendish. Apparently he was angry with Greipel. There's going to be plenty of fall-out from this.

They were both contesting for someone's wheel

There was no space for Cav'

And Sagz had the advantage by being ahead of the Manx Missile at the time of the collision, I reckon. Sagz did not seem to have changed his racing line.

 

Haven't seen the replay...

 

Never lekka to see.

 

Shoulders and elbows are part of jostling for position.

Sagz was possibly using his elbows / body to accelerate or manoeuvre his bike.

John Degenkolb and Ben Swift down with Cavendish eina!!

 

They must be the two who went over the handlebars. At that speed its gotta hurt :-(

The question is whether it was an "aggressive" elbow or a " to stay upright" elbow ? 

 

Lets just hope Cavendish is fine to continue....

Jissie different angles show different things... what n gemors.. will have to wait for the riders and more footage before I k@k Sagan out.

 

One angle shows Cav trying to move over then getting the elbow..then one shows the angle of going down after the elbow. . Then one shows Cav coin on with his head on sagan and then getting the elbow.

One thing is sure there was an elbow

Ja .. will have to watch it over and over and get the overhead view.. there was very little space there. Not sure if he was already losing his balance or if the elbow cause the loss of balance.. looks like Sagan kept his line.. but very hard to see.

On the slow-mo that look deliberate. If we call boohani we gotta call Sagz. #notcool

Big Sagan fan, but I fear that he was not completely innocent there. Cavendish was following DeMare who clearly had acres of space to get by Sagan, so Cavendish was entitled to think he can follow the same line. But Sagan moved over and closed the gap.

 

Very grey area this sprinting thing.

 

No matter repurcussions or not, it seems like Dimension Data's Plan A is out the window with Cavendish. Question is, what is their plan B?

Those red cushion thingies are also a hindrance hey...

Or what?

i think they are stupid to have them jutting out like that . But could of cushioned Cav's fall a bit.
