Caleb Ewan wins a frantic sprint to claim line honours on stage 11 at the Tour de France, but Peter Sagan is disqualified for an irregular sprint.
Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan secured his second stage victory at this year's Tour de France in a chaotic dash to the finish that saw Peter Sagan penalised for barging into Wout van Aert.Peter Sagan was relegated from the sprint for interfering with Wout van AertSagan, squeezed up against barriers on the right-hand side of the finishing straight in Poitiers, made room for himself by leaning his left shoulder into the Belgian rider.
"There wasn't a gap, and if you use your elbows to open it up, I think it's completely against the rules," said van Aert, the only other rider besides Ewan to have won two stages so far on this year's Tour. He has a lead of 21 seconds over second-placed Egan Bernal, last year's champion, and is 28 seconds ahead of third-placed French rider Guillaume Martin.
