GP Jean-Pierre Monseré under fire as Caleb Ewan publicly claims stolen victory

The GP Jean-Pierre Monseré was decided on a photo finish today, with Caleb Ewan narrowly beaten by Gerben Thijssen. However, some pictures seem to show the opposite, with Ewan taking to social media to criticize the situation.

"I kinda tought I won. Thoughts?" read one of Ewan's posts. "Here’s another one. If anyone’s got photo of big G (Gerben Thijssen, ed.) clearly beating me it would actually make me feel a bit better to be honest," a follow-up was added. Both posts feature shots from the finish line where it appears that Ewan crossed the line first in front of the Intermarché rider who was awarded the victory.

A 1.1 race, the organizers are being criticized on social media for the lack of a quality photo-finish system, which has been used to declare the winner. Ewan had been initially declared the race winner before the judges switched and officially declared Thijssen the winner.
