Must have been my email to them that prompted them to actually do something about it!

Have a look here Noodley. Last stage with Daryl Impey in yellow looking for the stage win. Most disgraceful conduct I have ever seen by a rider.

I think Daryl Impey is still in hospital recovering, but I also wonder if it was the right thing to do in getting him back on his bike to finish the stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as bad as the youtube suggests. Look at the momentum of the riders. Bos hits the feet of the railings.

There is no doubt that it was not a clever thing to do and Impey has every right to be angry about it, but I seriously do not believe Bos intended to hurt him - he just panicked. Once more I ask: why would Bos do it maliciously? There was no apparent motive and he would know there was a probability that it would be caught on camera - plus he went down too.
I'm more inclined to think it was intentional than I was before seeing that slow-mo!
Boss puts a hand on Impey, appears to grab a handful even, moves up level with him and then (at around 5 secs) suddenly drops back. Why? No idea. He appears to have space but can't really go through and past; maybe he thinks it's no place to be?? But in that slowing down process, Boss seems to pull Impey back too. Boss looks back and to his right too, whatever that might signify.
I can't work out why he'd might want to pull a rider down right in front of himself, that makes no sense. But I can't work out what he was doing either. It looks to me like he has space, so I can't see why he'd even reach out to touch Impey.
The thing that looks damning to me is that Boss seems to not just touch Impey but grab his shirt. Grab it and then pull back. It doesn't look good.

Skip I agree that it doesn't quite make sense why he would bring the rider down in front of him, but the very fact that he grabbed at Impey in the first place, during the lead up to a sprint, (whether he was trying to move him out the way or not), deserves a punishment.

Any pushing in the bunch should only be done by a hand on the backside - as I said on another thread, this is an unbelievably blantant pull.
Does'nt look good for Bos does it.Quite clearly he grabs then pulls the jersey.As for why? well why do sportsmen do half the stupid and dangerous things they do? Some of the terrible tackles in football and rugby,why do they do it? When the adrenilaine is flowing anything can happen.
