Yeah, I saw the fan video. Ouch.

Today- haven't seen the video yet, but supposedly Renshaw headbutted Julian Dean, which made him unable to lead out his guy. After that, he put one of the other guys into the barriers (*big* no-no). The rule is - in a sprint, everybody holds a straight line. They say he didn't, so he's out.

Where it gets sticky is that a rider who pulls this kind of stunt is not *always* expelled. I'm glad they're going hard on him, but if other riders have got away with it, that's not good.
