Just seen this - fair play to Debusschere for keeping calm indeed. Personally I'd punched the b*stard clean off the bike.

But with the whole middle east extreme heat thing getting a dose of water in the face was probably quite nice

But are there also any images of the situation earlier in the race? When Degenkolb and Debusschere went shoulder to shoulder on a roundabout because Debusschere seemed to be blocking (too much for normal blocking) Degenkolb there so he couldn't even go to the front of the group.
It's still not a classy reaction of Degenkolb but I get his frustration, in my eyes the Belgium's where pushing the "disturb the group" a bit too much. And besides, everyone could use some water to cool down right? :p

Anyone else impressed that the "lesser" Sagan, Juraj, made the front group at worlds for a while?
I've seen commentary from people saying that he's only on a WT team because of his brother, but the guy keeps on improving.

All three were there early on. I believe Juraj dropped out because of a mechanical.

Shit, even if he is only there cuz of his brother, what an awesome job. He's guaranteed work, prob never worries about contracts, peaking for races, or any of the stressful bullshit. Plus, he gets to help arguably the best rider AND a family member, which is doubly rewarding. I would take his role any day over being even a second tier contender that never quite hits their potential or makes good of their skillset, like Porte. I mean that in that he often has bad luck, a bad day, or a crash that prevents him from winning, but has won enough to know that he could, without those things, be one of the top 3.
