The way I see it, I would rather be in this jersey, having the race of my life and getting booed for whatever than being dropped on the first climb and everyone cheering you,\u201d Thomas said after the 15th stage finish in Carcassonne.<\/p>\n<p>Gianni Moscon didn\u2019t try very hard to win the fans over when he punched the young French rider Elie Gesbert (Fortuneo-Samsic) shortly after the start of Sunday\u2019s stage. The Italian rider was a key domestique for Geraint Thomas in the first two weeks, and Team Sky is facing yet more troubles after the organisers decided to disqualify him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Gianni Moscon&#39;s moment of madness that got him kicked off the Tour de France <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t6DMTLCSpW\">pic.twitter.com\/t6DMTLCSpW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Eurosport (@eurosport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eurosport\/status\/1021111137524469760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe support and accept the decision by the race organisers to exclude Gianni Moscon from the Tour de France,\u201d Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford said. \u201cGianni is desperately disappointed in his behaviour and knows that he has let himself, the Team and the race down.
