lopez has a dig.....

More than one by the look of it

lopez took down by a spectator

Beat him round the head afterwards too! I wonder if either will suffer repercussions.

Where's Roglic gone? I've rather lost track. Very messy stage to watch live.

 

[mjr]

Ah group 2, +40s and losing...

Quite.
And I'm not too happy about it either.

Lopez footage of his run in with the spectator

 

[roadrash]

its happening too often, so called "fans" and I use the term loosely, interfere with the race, I wouldn't be surprised to see a pro cyclist kick the shoot out of someone for doing that, by all means shout and cheer or whatever but there is absolutely no need for physical contact

Shortly after this incident another nob ed was pushing roglic uphill for a good while, apart from the risk of accident, roglic could be penalised for it.

from cycling weekly on twitter...
..
Miguel Ángel López (Astana) has escaped punishment after punching a road-side spectator who caused the rider to crash during stage 20 of the Giro d’Italia 2019.

The UCI jury apparently called López’s actions a “human reaction”, and will not sanction the Colombian.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Penalising Roglic and letting Lopez off seems ... odd.

Not saying either should or should not have been sanctioned. Just that the combination is odd.

 

[Adam4868]

Only just watched highlights,agree with @Dogtrousers Roglic might as well of punched the pusher...he'd have got away with it ?

 

[rich p]

I didn't see the incident but I believe Roglic made no effort to stop the 'assistance' which may have been the reason he was penalised.
Another damp squib of a stage after a promising opening? What does the team think?

 

[Adam4868]

I have failed miserably to get into this Giro to be honest.Even today's stage what I've watched was predictable.Bar the Lopez incident.
