Japan Cup, and his interview yesterday was also shitty (no apology towards Capiot, only blaming him and totally unreasonable "UCI maybe doesn't like me").
But it was Capiots fault for veering that much after his leadout. To me it looked like Van Gils just tried to signal he was there, but due to the difference in speed Capiot tumbled down and the incident looked worse than it should.

I disagree. But Eisel shares your view, for example. Just think the way he went in with the shoulder was absolutely unnecessarily rough and Capiot really didn't move a lot, rather van Gils seeing a gap where there never was one.
 
The commentator here saying that "it's very important to be on the radio" when there are many attacks early on a stage. I would rather say that maybe the radios are making it difficult to create a breakaway because every moment is monitored by the team, and it's hard to make surprise moves.
