what's he done?

Didn't look like it, though he may not have realised from his position.

The Kazakh was boxing him in so he was in danger from riders coming up the outside. Probably would have been safe, just, but he panicked.
ETA: looks like he was in danger from the replay.

Hansen and Kluge had handed the lead to Cav on a plate, then he overtook on the Cote D'Azur and got eliminated by the commissaires.

Tactical naivety against more experienced track riders? First he missed the break in the scratch race, then let himself get boxed in in the elimination race. He'll have to raise his game in the points race.

Cav third on 96 points, 10 behind leader Boudat at the halfway. Not bad.

It was Viviani boxing him to the outside, the Kazakh was ahead at that point though in the position he might have wanted to move into. I thought he would have been safe, but as you suggest he was in a position where riders coming up quickly at the back might have left him exposed.
He's done plenty of omniums before (not to mention sprint battles), so you'd have thought he'd have the tactics, but then I guess he hasn't done that many recently where the others have?

Yes, I thought it was Zakharov at the time but the replay did indeed show it was Viviani.
