Sagan was later disqualified from the rest of the 21-stage Tour, apparently for throwing an elbow that the judges believe caused Cavendish to crash. Sagan, 27, is one of the biggest stars in cycling right now because he’s incredibly talented, not to mention affable and fun. He’s also gotten into hot water for pinching the backside of a podium presenter at the Tour of Flanders. At 32, Cavendish has been one of cycling’s most prolific winners: He has 30 stage victories at the Tour alone. Another organization, the Amaury Sport Organisation, runs (and makes most of the money from) the Tour de France.
