Completely laughable Groves doesn't get anything but Milan gets sanctioned for a complete nothingburger. Also funny they're sanctioning the winner but are too chicken to relegate him.

Hi missed today the stage. Why merlier did not win the sprint? Bad postjon or too hard of a climb? Good win by Milan

Had a puncture, then didn‘t get in position, gave up at 500 meters and probably made a long face.

20 seconds, well that's the end of Penhoet's GC aspirations.

Yet more proof that as long as everybody stays on the bike nobody cares if the "sprinters" are riding like an insane person. When one of the good riders gets taken out tomorrow maybe we will hear a few peeps from the "journalists".

No, it's not. If it was all leadout guys will be removed from a race. In fact the whole peloton would be out because everyone is giving a teammate a push sometimes.

Are you suggesting that the UCI is never guilty of selectively enforcing the rules?

When did Milan obstruct another rider (to get penalised)?
