  I’m keen to see if the UCI publish a statement about this. Tadej’s bike was 35g under weight at the 25’ TdF, but his team added weights to ensure it met, and exceeded the weight limit. You shouldn’t have to, but scales are notoriously inconsistent, regardless of the professional environment of a world tour race such as the Giro. I want to avoid placing blame on the team here, because they shouldn’t have to do this, but pro teams typically build bikes to be slightly over the limit, often by 50-100g, to account for the margin of error between different scales (even the same scale). Surface levelling, wind, temperature, amongst other factors, can cause minor fluctuations. You have zero room for error if you build a bike at exactly 6.8kg. If the bike loses a few grams due to wear, or the UCI scale reads just 0.2% lighter, you’re in immediate violation.

  I feel there is more to this than simple weight issue UCI are harsh but a disqualification as well. Maybe way off the mark but is there other factors or circumstances playing out here

  Seems like organizers wanted an Italian to win. This action is a hate crime and despicable. The giro organizers must be held accountable

  The penalty may seem very harsh, but this rule is nothing new, and the UCI are very well within their rights to disqualify a rider for violating it. At the end of the day, the only ones that SD Worx - Protime have to blame are themselves.

  Uci commissioners can be locally severe & they hardly ever reverse a decision - some of the directives & rules are contravening to the sport imo

  Why didn't the team ask for it to be weighed on another set of scales to see if the scales are accurate? A and B samples as in doping cases.

  Thanks so much for sharing your personal feelings towards the NBA.

  Did Ciccone happen to tell Derek what was going on between him and Rubio? Surely if Geegee knew their arrangement he wouldnt have charge ahead. Was their DS watching ? Confusing but anything for a headline.

  Well E Balisamo might win some sprints now .A shame Cat crashed out ,hope she is ok.

  If Tadej had to retire today, there would be trivia questions like 'Which legendary road cyclist never won the Vuelta?' He is probably happy for Jonas.
