He's lucky not to be kicked out the race.
That would be harsh and not what normally happens, he didn't cause a crash and I have seen video and photos that suggest he was leaning to avoid a camera on a selfie stick, although that's probably a of a stretch. But it was poor positioning to go up the inside when there was no gap especially as a few seconds before he was the other side of Van Aert. Mind you Sagan has deliberately blocked him previously so there is history there.
The aerial video, shows him elbow-ing and head butting Van Aert out of the way to make space. He was doing this from behind on Van Aert's side. Nothing came of it- racing incident.
Since Cavendish crash a couple of years ago, riders must not change line or force others off line.
The sanction was fair I believe. If Van Aert had crashed, then disqualification would have been appropriate
Van Aert got a 200 Swiss franc fine for giving Sagan a finger after the line.
In his interview after the race he said he used a few choice words too

Much like the few I had for you on the BigringVR Bales ride yesterday. I'd be broke if it was 200 per swear word.In his interview after the race he said he used a few choice words too

You'll hate me even more if you do the Col De La Madeleine
Went for a real world spin today and accidentally found myself on a 20% section of a climb
Managed to get up though without stopping and actually didn't feel too bad. The BRVR grinding has certainly helped

Agreed, looks good for Bennett to take the green jersey now as long as he can make it to paris. Is there anything more dangerous than a great sprinter who isn't on form?
Did a 30 mins flat race there, really struggling to put out B numbers. Hoping to do my first ever group ride this weekend, however some good base miles will help

I did a group ride today which i didn't like. When the ride start i was close of leaders yellow beacon, suddenly that leaders yellow beacon jump way much forward, i was thinking what a %&@©. I decided if group is planned to keep together and yellow beacon keep bouncing like that i will abandon the ride and do a ride...by myself (more quality) 
. Last week when i did same group ride, same bouncing was happened, i thought that was a bug of latest update but this host team seems to like to change leader during a ride, that's how it looked.

Had to increase my weight on Zwift by 5lbs todayGood job I'm not racing much on there at present. Now time to take it off again over the next few weeks
I suspect I'm in a similar boat. Going to start weighing myself at the start of each month and update (upweight)

No need to hurry Martin, do what i did. I have a 5year delay of weight adjustments. I kept my weight a 82kg about 5 years before i realized my weight doesn't go down, so i need to swallow my disappointment and set 85kg to Zwift. Now i have another 5year delay in progress to hope that i can set back 80kgHad to increase my weight on Zwift by 5lbs today

I’m steadily losing weight at the moment. I’m hoping I haven’t lost power with it but it’s hard to say.
Live weigh ins anyone?
