Former sprinter Eddy Planckaert had some pretty direct criticisms of the UCI jury after the saga that saw Jasper Philipsen relegated then reinstated for a move during the sprint finale of stage 11 at the Tour de France.
Soon after the stage to Nevers concluded, Philipsen – who had finished third – was relegated, seemingly for a pair of movements that saw him collide with Picnic-PostNL sprinter Pavel Bittner and then slightly elbow NSN's Biniam Girmay.
