if you do anything to impeded the progress of another rider you should be disqualified....at the least. unfortunately sagan overshadowed what demare did.
if you watch from the front the entire group was drifting to their right. cav had an opening at the time he went for it but as the group moved right even sagan was being pushed right.
unfortunately cav got the raw end of the deal as he ran out of room.
it was extremely excessive and wrong to remove segan.
I thought I had the left side blocked enough, only enough room for someone stupid like me to go there so I thought. I was wrong. someone else did. the temptation to squeeze him out was there but I did not, got second.

I agree Demare being dangerous but he had a gap between the first and the second rider, so any one racing will fight for the gap especially that close to the finish and be in second place is the ideal position. The second rider should have closed the gap and I see that he had to weave to avoid Demare crossing his front wheel which would have cause a huge pile up. That's bunch sprint.
