While I admire the move from a distance, the only reason why Hoy wasn't relegated was because it was Hoy. Moving someone off their line like that is blatantly against the rules and pretty dangerous besides. If Van Velthooven had protested directly, I think Hoy would have been relegated.
I mean, VV was moved from just above the black all the way to the stayers line. If it had been one of the younger guys... Instant relegation. Imagine if someone were overlapped up track on VV? Massive yard sale.
