My understanding was blocking; messing with a pace line rotation- slowing down at the front, skipping pulls, not working in a break was fine but impeding; physically preventing someone from advancing was a rule violation.
The rules and penalties need to be redefined. Wellens was way more gratuitous than I’d have been.
I didn't see this but that was always my understanding. If a team wanted to ride shoulder to shoulder clear across the road, well, it was my responsibility to be in front of them before they started.
I agree that UCI should look at this, but - don't penalize a team for taking actions you don't like that don't cross any of the rules you have set down.
