Visconti almost pushed over Ulissi mid-sprint if that had been a mass sprint someone would've been seriously injured there's no way they can let him have the win it was just to dangerous, regardless if he was right or not.

but it wasn't-Ulisi was pushing viciously Visconti against the barriers-what would you expect him to do? smile & let him go through?

I think that they'll give it to Ulissi, his sprint didn't seem that bad.
Visconti was overreacting, shouldn't have tried the left side there.

They should both be Dq'd.

Odds of 2 Italians being Dq'd to get a Spaniard win, in a Giro where Spain is embarassing Italy? Zero.

If Visconti had stuck to his right hand lane he should have won this sprint easily with no issues.

Pass on the right side instead of getting yourself in problems?

Looking at it again, if Lastras had been one wheel further forward with his front wheel next to Ulissi's rear at the time Visconti pushed Ulissi at least one of them if not both would've crashed.

Visconti DQ'ed it's official.

Viciously?!
Come on, he hardly left his line. Visconti took the wrong side and proved to be an idiot by his reaction.

Visconti is DQ, Ulissi wins.

Visconti should be ejected from the race, if they stick to the Renshaw-doctrine.
