2016 Paris - Nice, March 6th - 13th, WT

What is the issue with EQS ...yesterday they were poor and today absent ...what is going on...saving themselves for the classics ??

Watching the replays I'm not sure Bouhanni did anything wrong. Hard to say. The full speed overhead view makes it even tougher. I'd probably let that go.

Re:

Matthews will win if Bouhanni is DQ'ed right?

yea thought trek was second but he wasn't and matthews didn't do anything wrong

 

[LaFlorecita]

Matthews will win the GC

 

[TourOfTexas]

Bouhanni moved to the outside of the turn to block Matthews, then threw an elbow. I hope he gets tossed out of the race.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Surely Bouhanni should be DQ's for that . . .

Re:

Looks even more intentional in the overhead view.

Are you watching the same race? He came across at the start of the sprint but once Matthews came up along side of him he really wasn't swerving. It wasn't great but not as bad as you describe it.

Re:

Nacer on the wrong here. Don't think he did it intentionally, but his carelesness should not go unpunished, especially when it spoiled Matthews' sprint the way it did.

Re:

Obvious is obvious.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hmm... seemed to me that the weird "swaying" Matthews did wasn't actually the result of something in the sprinting, but rather something that just happened. Looked - to me - like he was swaying before him and Bouhanni touched shoulders...

 

[Supimilian]

That must be as close to a DQ you can get if he is not disqualified which he should be. He basically slams the door from the other side in the last 60 or so meters.

 

[TommyGun]

If anything, it is Matthews that should get DQed!

 

[Flamin]

I like Bouhanni, but this should always be a DQ. No question about it.

 

[StryderHells]

It wasn't that bad but still a fair D'Q

 

[Carols]

Only interesting part of the entire race...... Who wins?

 

[TomLPC]

Disqualified, Matthews wins

Re:

When he started the sprint, I think he swerved too aggressively over his left but then he kept straight line- It was Mathews that got boxed in and kept trying to pass Bouhanni over such narrow gap......

I'm cool with Bouhanni winning this

Qué?

 

[Scarponi]

Think he is gone

Yeah, especially watching full speed. They'll probably DQ anyway, though.

bouhanni looks really mad.

Matthews had a good 25 cm between him and the barriers: why did he swerve so close to Bouhanni?

 

[burning]

He got DQ'ed, lmao

Re:

Seriously?

 

[Rollthedice]

Bling wins. Nacer should pick up boxing again.
