Can't quite believe the wording of the commissaires saying he used his head to stay upright after Hushovd came off his line and then disqualified him.  |

You could get the impression they didn't like him. Can't imagine why

Both of them DQ-ed. Better start running the sprints in lanes same as they'd like it to be on the track...

Commissaires seem to get more pointless by the year

Wtf? Neither rider complained, it didn't affect the sprint, what's the problem? Morons.

Saw on Twitter that Hushovd had offered to take full responsibility for it, if they wanted to award Cav the points - nice gesture but can't imagine it'll do any good.

I wondered why Hushovd was getting involved in the sprint and not Farrar. Reckon he was only there to disrupt Cav. Now feeling guilty.  |

So by that reckoning, either all ex riders make good Comms, or we have non at all, just TLI
Stock Hans answer for anyone who coaches as well.
