Oleksander Sheyduk's victory was disallowed
Take pity on poor Ukrainian rider, Oleksander Sheyduk, who was the only rider to take the correct route on Wednesday’s Tour of Ukraine. Sheyduk was on a solo breakaway and was the only rider to cross the line as the following peloton took a wrong turn inside the final 20km. Cycling Weekly reported that his victory was taken away from him as the commissaire cancelled the stage and put in place a 5km lap to decide placings instead.
Local rider Sheyduk, had waited six years for a victory. His team, PCM Kuota boycotted the restarted race stating that the rules stipulate that the riders should know where they are going.
Later that evening Fabio Calabria complained in a tweet: “No hot water in hotel and riders turned away from dinner without food. How did this race get status?”
