Bora-Hansgrohe will not let the thing just go and are taking it once again to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The hearing will take place on December 6 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Sport’s high court already ruled once in the matter, upholding the UCI’s decision in an express appeal during the Tour.
Sagan’s team is now making a case against the UCI over the application of the rule and the resulting financial losses. Bora-Hansgrohe also claims the jury never heard and should have listened to Sagan’s side of the story. The result of the court hearing will definitely affect UCI’s rulings in similar collisions in the future.
Every cycling fan has an opinion on this matter so let’s hear it. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
