Re: Re:

Bouhanni should be thrown off the race.

For what? That was a clean sprint.

Are you serious? He was literally boxing with Kristoff to try to throw him off his own leadout.

we're in France though so no disqualification to expect...

one day he's gonna cause a real mess in a sprint...

Re: Re:

what's he thinking boxing on his bike??

Tribute to Mohammed Ali, duh. He was a boxer you know. And I think that was Bouhanni's team-mate, not himself, so they can't disqualify him as he did nothing wrong.

After the headbutting by his teammate there was a topview and there was Bouhanni headbutting and hanging against Kristoff. The big Norwegian didn't seem impressed at all and simply pushed him away.

When did Bouhanni box with Kristoff? His hands didn't leave his handlebars

Re:

Decent boxing game. I think Katusha started it though.

Yeah I'm not too sure about who started between the leadouts, but between Kristoff and Bouhanni it seemed to be most of all Bouhanni and Kristoff just held his position, but didn't lean or do any headbutting.

Cav has done that many times without getting disqualified.

Does that mean they shouldn't be dq'd? Guess Cav got lucky...

Headbutting never led to immediate disqualification lets start with that, there is no such rule.

Nice win by nacer
Cav destroyed careers, nacer not even close yet. All good

Worse of all is the fact that french TV is avoiding to show any footage of it.

Maybe intentionally avoiding that footage, but I just want to see it again so I can judge those actions carefully.

Wishing that somebody injures themselves is showing some real class.... Bravo!

Kristof was classy indeed. Didn't react at all and still won position.

Renshaw was thrown out of the TDF a couple of years ago for headbutting, but this was way worse imo.

Its only because of the biking skills of his rivals that no one got seriously hurt yet, this *** for brains lunatic will go out of his way to try and take them out.

 

[jsem94]

Have watched the sprint over and over again now and I can't believe there was no major crash.

My thoughts exactly

Re:

you should be banned I think.

No it wasn't! Renshaws headbutting in that finish was ALOT worse than the soft stuff today

You're insane or didn't watch the sprint.

Loooool, some day he will cause a big crash where other rider will break some bone and nothing will happen to bouhanni

 

[PremierAndrew]

Who was the ag2r rider who nearly went down under a shoulder barge from a DiDa rider at the flamme rouge? Great bike handling to stay up

Renshaw also headbutted in the head of his opponent.

It really wasn't.

0:30 onwards. Renshaw's was worse, but not much, and at the end of the day, that sprint became super dangerous in the end, and definitely needs to be looked at
