Moscon excluded from Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne for jet bike on competitor

We can never say it enough but Gianni Moscon carries the last three letters of his last name relatively well. The Italian from Ineos was disqualified from the Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne race after throwing his bike at another participant in the Belgian semi-classic.

On aerial videos of the race, the Italian is seen in the aisle after a collective fall. He grabs a bicycle and throws it at another rider, also caught in the fall. The race organizers relayed a message on Twitter from the Belgian website Sporza stating that he had been disqualified. It is not the first time that Gianni Moscon, 25, has been disqualified from a race due to violent behavior. In 2018, he was excluded from the Tour de France and suspended five weeks after hitting the Frenchman Elie Gesbert on the helmet.
