It happens in most of the WC sprints, particularly in those town centre criteriums with their tight corners. Di Centa was lower than expected in the overall tour points list and perhaps he had desire to succeed on home ground in front of his own people. It was the Italian temperament that caused him to remonstrate in public in the finish enclosure. As Mike Dixon said anger is a good emotion when racing if its properly controlled and I feel his lack of control is what caused him to fade in the next race. |

Northug - Di Centa shoving match.
Not sure how you can tell what happened based on the commonly available
feed. It's a fine line that almost invariably falls on the side of competition, and without a protest the jury wasn't going to do anything. Nottrug does skate pole with very wide hands. No love lost between Norwegian and Italian teams. dardruba wrote: shreddir wrote: Watch the todays 2nd mens semifinal and see "Dennis the Menace" Peter Northug cut off Di Centa during a left turn.
