Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) were declassified following a messy sprint finish of stage 3 of the Critérium du Dauphiné on Tuesday, each for deviating from their line in the closing 100 metres of the sprint won by Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma).
Bennett, who finished second, and Groenewegen in third were pushed to 33rd and 34th, respectively after officials determined they had violated rules that require sprinters to hold their line.
