Question 8

It’s a nice change when a Tour de France controversy has to do with aggressive racing, rather than doping violations. Stage 11 had a controversial sprint finish, as one rider shouldered another in what has been described alternately as “dangerous,” “badass,” and “good racing,” resulting in the relegation of the second place finisher to 85th, with a corresponding loss of sprint points. Who was this racer, who has won the green jersey at the Tour de France 7 of the last 8 years (with the only miss being due to a controversial disqualification for aggressive racing)?

Peter Sagan
