If a sprinter tries to put another rider off the road like that, they get sent home these days. Why do FDJ get away with it just because it was on the entry to a climb?
It probably made a difference, making Kasia burn a match to catch back up. Would it have let her stay close enough to keep the lead? Probably not. And that's the sad thing: if Demi wins the overall now, it's tainted by this dirty move. And it wasn't necessary.
