Riders disqualified in Tour de Guadaloupe incident
Two Dutch riders were disqualified from the UCI 2.2-rated Tour de Guadaloupe on Sunday after they were dropped while racing on a circuit but then hid among several cars and rejoined the peloton.
Unfortunately for Tenniglo Niels and Huub Van Kapel, they were seen by multiple people, some of whom captured the incident on video. Commissaires were made aware of their attempt to cheat and the riders were kicked out of the race.
