I would love to see the version of this race where the rules are enforced by the book!

Enough about Ronaldo. What did you think of this finish? (I had to, sorry)

You would suggest that's not the best course of action?

No, I am suggesting that UCI never follows its own rules.

Best course of action in my opinion? Everyone on s.t., Roglic DSQ.

If someone had been crossing the road in the first 100 or even 200 metres after the deviation, it would have been a disaster even if everyone had realised immediately. It is very much #1 in this case.
It is absolutely fair to talk about the lack of functioning brain cells among certain riders too, though.

How does anyone take the right road if there's no signaling.

Just 10% of riders actually bothering to read the road book seems about right.
In all seriousness, from the replay it seemed that one guy started frantically signaling once the first riders went the wrong way.

There was a man pointing with his finger (ridiculous, I know).

Usually when we see riders being led the wrong way in the final, it means they won't get to contest the finish, but here we actually have video evidence of riders coming to "the line" long before the winning rider.

Your country has given us the best finish to a cycling race, ever! Don't feel ashamed, celebrate it!

I'd rather they used some judgement than blindly followed the rules. Would be rather silly to DQ a vast part of the field.

Well, if UCI is to follow their own rulebook they should sanction Jarrad Drizners for this. It's the riders responsibility to know the route (according to the rulebook) and they were all told which way to take the roundabout in the briefing. It's also clearly lined out in the roadbook. But all common sense points to UCI and the race organizers. Disgrace.

Someone was signaling before the first guy went wrong. Everyone just follows the Bora leadout

Ganna seems to have been given a one hour bonus for making sure that at least some riders crossed the line:
