Why did Sagan get sent home
Sagan as he looked before the elimination.
When I saw the pictures I did not see how Sagan did something terrible, Cavendish did not have to try and push through, but he really pressed his luck, which he did not have.
Okay Sagan did put up his elbow, but Cavendish was already on the crashing trajectory, so his elbow didn't do it.
No hard feelings
After the stage Sagan was even excusing himself to Cavendish, not as an admittance of guilt, more to express that he was sorry for the crash Cavendish had, and Cavendish was not angry with Sagan, not in public at least.
UCI gets involved
somehow the UCI decided to take action here, and on the shaky ground of a lot of emotions right after the crash they eliminated Sagan, perhaps they should have waited at least a bit more before springing to such a drastic measure.
It is a almost unheard of, that a racer gets eliminated like this, I don't think I have ever heard of anybody else getting eliminated like this in the Tour.
There have been some racers eliminated under suspicion of doping.
