If you read UK and US blogs and commentaries, you’d think most people find the disqualification of Mark Renshaw (head-butting Julian Dean at the stage 11 sprint of the Tour de France 2010 – see video below) to be excessive and unfair. But that’s not the case.

I’ve been reading the comments submitted by readers on Dutch and German cycling websites, and the vast majority agree with the Tour de France’s decision to expel Renshaw. The French and the Belgians, however, are divided on the issue.
