Should Gianni Moscon Be Banned? | The Cycling Race News Show

Clock00:00, Monday 13th August 2018

Welcome to the GCN Racing News Show - Gianni Moscon is handed a 5-week ban by the UCI, we’re asking if this is enough. We also look at the Tours of Poland, Utah and Portugal, the Vuelta a Burgos, the European Road Championships, the Crescent Vargarda, and the conclusion of the Transcontinental and Northcape 4000.

Shall we talk about Gianni? The Italian was ousted from the Tour de France after lashing out at Elie Gesbert on stage 15, and after reviewing the evidence further, the UCI have handed him a 5-week ban from competition. The Italian federation and Team Sky have accepted the sanction, and there seems to be no further disciplinary action coming from the team.

Tour of Poland - For Team Sky, their Polish champion Michal Kwiatkowski was dominant at his home tour. He took back to back wins on the uphill finishes of stages 4 and 5 and backed that up with a 3rd place on stage 6. He was put on the ropes on the final stage when Mitchelton Scott’s Simon Yates attacked and went into the virtual race lead, and although Yates did enough for the stage win, Kwiatkowski held on for the overall win by 15 seconds. Kwiatkowski will now head to the Vuelta, where, incidentally, we will also see Vincenzo Nibali competing - good news that the Italian has recovered sufficiently from his crash at the Tour.

Was Moscon's punishment appropriate? Let us know in the comments. 👇
