WATCH: Peter Sagan elbows Mark Cavendish, booted from Tour De France

Peter Sagan's hockey move at the end of Stage 4 got him booted from the 2017 Tour de France on Tuesday. Sagan, a world champion, was disqualified for throwing an elbow at Mark Cavendish that set off a wild crash during a frenzied sprint to the finish line on Tuesday. Here's video of the crash.

And here's a few more looks, just in case you're wondering if that elbow is intentional or not.
