168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) was penalised for obstruction on the run toward the stage 2 sprint at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Hongrie, but the rider still got to keep his stage runner-up spot behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish (Astana-Qazaqstan).
Sam Welsford (Bora-Hansgrohe), who started the day in the race leader's jersey after winning stage 1, was riding on Cavendish's wheel ahead of a sweeping right-hand bend less than a kilo🌱metre from the finish line. But then Groenewegen came across and pushed Welsford off the Manxma𝔍n's wheel.
A fine of "CHF 200, 20% penalty in points classification and 10 seconds penalty for infringement" was handed to Groenewegen in the Communique of the Commissaires panel included with the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage 2 results. Th𒁃e penalty was due to the "obstruction by a rider in order to prevent m꧑ovement of another rider".
After the contact with Groenewegen, Welsford pulled out of the charging bunch and came to a standstill. Bora-Hansgrohe said on social media that Welsford had "hit the curb and punctured while battling for positions in the finale". As a result, the rider came over the line more than a minute and a half back. However, the communication in the official results said that due to the mechanical problem in the last 3km, he was credited with the time of thওe winner.
That means Welsford retained his place near the top of the overall standings, with bonus seconds taken during the stage shifting Martin Voltr (Pierre Baguette Cycling) into the top spot, while the winners of the first two stages – Welsford and Cavendish &ndas🌊h; sit five seconds back in second and third overall.
Groenewegen – who was given a nine-🅠month ban for his part in a🔯 crash involving Fabio Jakobsen at the Tour de Pologne in 2020 – is now🧸 sitting 96th on 🔜the tight GC, 19 seconds back.
It is the second stage in a row where penalties have been imposed due to actions in the final sprint. On stage 1 a crash took down mul🐟tiple riders as the charge to the line was unfolding, with Campbell Stewart (Jayco-AlUla) hitting the ground hard after peeling off after leading out Groenewegen when Emils Liepins (DSM-Firmenich Post NL) appeared to swing across his path and clip his front wheel.
Liepins was penalised for a "deviation from the chosen line that obstructs or endangers rider(s) during the final sprint" and was given a fine and a 25% penalty in the points classification. He was also relegated to last place in the bunch on the stage.
The sprinters are likely to take a back seat at the five-day race on Friday, with the climb-heavy stage 3 set t🅠o stretch out the general classif𒀰ication and send the climbers to the top of the rankings.
The 183km stage from Kazincbarcika to Gyöngyös-Kékestető features a category-two ascent before then heading to a 12km, 5.6%, category-one summit finish.
