Simon Geschke complains about 'pushing' in Tweet
Following the stage 2 finish at the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol in Cordoba, where Cofidis sprinter Nacer Bouhanni won the sprint after a small main field reconnected on the run-in to the line following a challenging late-race climb, Giant-Alpecin's Simon Geschke posted on Twitter a complaint about riders receiving a push from teammates and then winning the stage.
Not a fan of sprinters that get pushed up the last climb by teammates and then win the stage.

Although Geschke did not specify any particular rider or riders as the subject of his Tweet, the circumstances during the finale of today's stage at Ruta del Sol clearly point to Bouhanni.
Geschke, who finished 19th on the stage, was Giant-Alpecin's best-placed rider. He's currently 17th overall, tied on time with Bouhanni. Trek-Segafredo's Fabio Felline was second on the stage, followed by Team Sky's Ben Swift. Movistar's Juan Jose Lobato is second overall, while Raymond Kreder (Roompot-Oranje Peloton) is third.
