It's my opinion, after watching several angles frame by frame, that Sagan's elbow didn't move until Cav was already on the way down. Further, i believe Cav's left hood is what forced Sagan's elbow outward.
I despise that governing bodies feel the need to appease the masses instantly. Take a little time, look at everything in depth, talk to BOTH riders separately and together, THEN make a decision.
I haven't got a dog in the fight, but it's bullshit decision in my opinion.

Ohhhh...C'mon my friend ! That's BS !
This is not rugby my friend , this is a sprint in + 60 km/u...
Sagan pushed first with his elbow and and a fraction of a sec.later he pushed even with his shoulder to get more force out his arm !
He actually made *2 movements* with his arm , and he went off his line !
From today on...For me personal Sagan is a Slovakian gangster on a bike !
You know I rode in the Belgian competition , and I rode countless sprints . In a sprint you can hear and feel who is behind you and who is next to you ..
Sagan knew Cavendish came along and his elbow and shoulder were intentional !
Talk to both riders ? Where ? In the hospital ?
Cavs season is over and out...
I *HAD* respect for Sagan . But now , from what I saw today ? Not anymore !
