The bellicose Italian was out of the Tour de France by the jury of the commissaires after a punch unchecked at the very beginning of the 15th stage, at the exit of Millau.
Red card. Gianni Moscon leaves the Tour. Excluded after a striking punch Elie Gesbert (Fortuneo-Samsic) 800 m after the start of the 15 e stage, this Sunday (Millau-Carcbadonne).

The "All Sport" images show the Italian upright fist, touching French runner Elie Gesbert. His tour stopped there. The bib number 5 will not be Tuesday at the start of the 16 e stage Carcbadonne-Bagnères-de-Luchon. Sky has only five riders (how much Egan Bernal, the Spaniard Jonathan Castroviejo, the Polish Michal Kwiatkowski, the Dutch Wout Poels, and the British Luke Rowe) to frame the first two overall: Geraint Thomas the Yellow Jersey and Christopher Froome, the four-time laureate of the Great Loop.
