Can’t stand Cav. Glad he’s out. Tries to headbutt anther rider (as he’s done many times before), and comes unstuck. Good. Now hopefuly we’ll see some cleaner sprints. And not have to endure his whining arrogance throughout the tour. At least he’s done the decent thing this time, and admitted it was his fault.
the actual Cav v Gerrans action was initiated 50m earlier
Cav was Sagans wheel, Gerrans tries to push Cav of the wheel but Cav bounces back onto Sagans wheel, Gerrans then tries again Cav pre-empts by leaning in to Gerrans (the head butt everyones sees on the video), they both drift into the Europecar rider and then boom they are down
watch the replay from 600m out and you can see what I describe, what is difficult to see is Cav on Sagans wheel because of the angle and that he is so small.
Gerrans is playing dumb and Mr nice guy, he knew what he was doing and the risks
