Christian who does the commentating for SNNBC said the same thing. Sagan shouldn't have been kicked out of the race. So there is intention and there is judgment regarding Sagan's intention. Sagan didn't want to let Cav through and pass him. You may not believe this warrants kicking him out of the race and I agree, a very tough call. I believe to transcends Sagan really. It is setting the table for what is acceptable in racing. Not to overstate it, but Cav could have been crippled by this.
Truth is...bike racing is a blood sport and in part why we watch. These guys are not only far more skilled than average riders but much braver in terms of taking chances.
