I looked as closely at the bad coverage as possible.

To me it appeared that Cavendish crossed Sagan's back wheel and touched it throwing Sagan slightly off-balance and all Sagan did was to re-balance himself. That was the elbow going out. Not to block Cavendish but to regain balance.

I couldn't even tell if Sagan's elbow even contacted Cavendish. And Cavendish was unclear about it in his interview. Though he was in a great deal of pain and so being unclear is more than forgivable.

I find it extremely irritating that a "jury" would believe that it is a sprinter's job to move out of the way of someone coming from behind.

100 percent agree. Sagan said he didn't see Cavendish. There was about a bike length between Damare and Cavendish, and when Damare passed Sagan, Sagan followed. It looked like Sagan's move frustrated Cavendish, so he pushed his head and shoulder into Sagan to get Sagan out of Cavendish's way, causing his own fall. Very unfortunate all the way around.

This morning they put a slo-mo on so that you could see what happened. It was Cavendish leaning against Sagan and Sagan's arm went out only to maintain his balance.

No matter the reason why the arm went out, at the time the arm went out,
Cavendish was already falling on the right side.

So, arm has nothing to do with the crash.

Question is only whether Sagan knew that Cav is there when he moved
right...

Regarding keeping line, sprint was chaotic, Sagan is not only one that
whas changing the line.

But crush 1500m from finish, that was epic break through two riders

Truly unfortunate.

But a large portion of the "blame", or "negligence" belonged to
Cavendish.

It doesn't matter if Sagan knew he was there or not. It is not a sprinter's responsibility to make room for a man behind him.

This was not simply a bad decision of the race jury, but an insulting one that makes you wonder what is going on. We've heard it said that this years course was planned with less climbing to try and break Team Sky and Froome's domination of the event.

I believe that courses should be changed so that they give all specialists a try at the yellow but I do not believe that any course should be purposely aimed at eliminating a team.

Gotta agree with you to this point.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least, and it also seems reasonable.
The more competitive the race is, the greater the interest (and
that can't hurt viewership or revenuw).


I believe that courses should be changed so that they give all
specialists a try at the yellow but I do not believe that any
course should be purposely aimed at eliminating a team.


How are these different if the course favors a certain style, and
a team has been developed to take advantage of the style?

Well, we didn't have a team time trial and we didn't have any long distance time trials. Sky was so strong that they would have had overwhelming advantaged in these sorts of things. Also high Alp's stages with mountain top finishes early would set up both better stages and also set competition into their proper places more rapidly so that teams could plan their attacks more appropriately. The only reason that Aru got into Yellow was that Froome had an "off" day that would have been anyone else's great day.
