First win of his pro-career, (not counting the olympic gold on the track).

I was home earlier than yesterday, so I thought I'd be able to catch more of the race...

It's true he had deviated a bit but I didn't think it was anything overly egregious.
These are the relegations that happen in smaller races, but not always in races like TDF.
It's easier to make these decisions in these races.

Yeah, I'm really surprised because what I'm used to seeing in bigger races can be much worse and there are no relegations.
Bummer for Rui.
Lopez lost the overall due to his inattentiveness.
He looked strong, but he decided to continue with the remaining domestiques and peloton.
When he wanted to react it was too late.
Grosstchartner or TAO will win this.
We'll see if TAO maintains his level on the mountain stage. He's been struggling since his accident.

This is what you get, now you'll see riders waving their arm about all the time when they know they're about to lose. Imagine Cavendish had been relegated on Stage 14 of the Tour 2016, we're actually reaching that level now.

I like Fabio, but rather sad and unfair to Rui.

You can watch the replay, it's worth it. Very good racing today.

Yeah that was a *** decision, there was plenty of room, it was just the reaction of Christen that made it look worse than it is. Literally in any big race sprint there are much worse deviation at any second, so by their criteria almost everyone would be disqualified. And that's not even counting all the headbutting and elbow stuff. I am quite saddened by this decision, Rui was a worthy winner and literally his first professional win after so many years of working for others.
And like you said, this would never be decided in a big race like the Tour, because people would be there with pitchforks. But they can bully riders in smaller races.

, you shouldnt have watched at the results beforehand tho.Christen should win an Oscar for that. But, just like in football, it works.

Tough relegation, hopefully Rui Oliveira can still get a pro win on the road.
