Apologies if this has made it in another thread, but Moscon avoids his P45...

Moscon is a nob, that is all...…...

I believe that was the official finding of the UCI disciplinary panel.

Without a doubt. But he is a young and able nob, and definitely needs to be cut some slack. The pro peloton is a harsh place to learn, but learn he will. I think there are plenty of us who made crass mistakes in our twenties, and were given another chance (or several) by the powers that be. I will put my hand up as one!

 

[hoopdriver]

Not hitting people is something one should have learned and understood by the time one leaves nursery school. He is a man in his mid twenties, not a toddler being selfish in the sandbox. He needs the swift kick up the backsides that being sacked would have provided.

Iagree with you up to a point...

^^^^but mostly I agree with this^^^

This is not his first offence. How many chances does he need? How many should he be given?

 

[rich p]

You have to wonder that, if he wasn't such a good cyclist, would have been given another chance.
There's no need to answer that!
Have we heard (or have I missed) what caused him to lash out?

 

[jarlrmai]

word is it was because he's a nob.

 

[suzeworld]

According to the Grauniad article He didn’t actually punch the other guy in this incident.
Has anyone seen any story in what provoked him to raise his fist?

 

[ColinJ]

Wasn't there a suggestion that Moscon's jersey was being pulled?

 

[suzeworld]

Does it matter?

Does anything matter?

If you’re not interested in my question you can just jog on by.

It matters to me because provocation makes a difference, plus, Macon didn’t actually hit the other guy.

 

[roadrash]

Why? Punch someone in some other sports it's a straight red. No excuses.

Except boxing..... sorry , couldn't resist

If Macon's the puncheur, is Moscon the French president and Macron Villages a wine?
