(Reuters) – Colombia’s Juan Sebastian Molano was disqualified from the Criterium du Dauphine yesterday after the UAE Emirates rider hit another rider twice in the sixth stage.
Molano was spotted arguing with his Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert rival Hugo Page late in the sixth stage before shaking his bike and striking him on the helmet.
The 27-year-old then raced to Page’s team bus to angrily remonstrate further before striking him on the head again.
