But what happened in the TDF last year with Renshaw being DQ'd.
In my opinion this is worse.

If Ulssi wasn't Italian then theres no way Visconti would be DQ'd |

Visconti says that Ulissi is a young rider who's been "stupid all day" (or something like that).
Pathetic interview: he said a young rider shouldn't behave like this and ulissi has been impolite all day |

There's really nothing to discuss here. Ulissi keeps his line, Visconti makes a stupid mistake by going the wrong way around. |

No idea why Visconti chose to squeeze by near the barriers anyway. Ulissi maybe lost the sprint in the end more because of shock rather than the actual push itself, but it's hard to tell. Bonkers from Visconti though.
EDIT: Good decision.

Visconti on 3rd.
He should have been last in the stage or DQed from the race, in my opinion, but oh well. |

That was no way the correct decision, he should have been thrown out of the race. |

Should be out the giro.
If it were anyone else, he probably would have been too.
EDIT: Can't do #150 in the race celebrating 150 years of unification can we?

Why, why, why Visconti did you go to the right of Ulissi? Very stupid mistake and a correct decision to give the win to Ulissi.

Agreed, but i was wondering if he should be thrown out from the entire race. Like Renshaw(Somebody else mention that over me here) in the TDF last year.
EDIT: I should add, in my head DQ = Thrown out of the race.

Very simple, like riders nearly always do, you get much less wind by being close to the barriers, so more speed.
Edit : and a great job by Svitsov up to the 5th place in the GC

Ulissi! Really good win for him, what Visconti did was obviously not the best decision, I respected him alot more before today's stage then I do now. |

If Visconti was Mark Cavendish he would have already been disqualified for irregular and dangerous sprinting.
Great move by Sivtsov. Up to 5th |
