Jan-Willem van Schip (Azerion-Villa Valkenburg) was disqualified from another bike race on Thursday as his positioning on his handlebars at the Tour of Hellas ran afoul of a ruling by UCI officials. Van Schip is always on the lookout for ways to push the boundaries of what is legal within the UCI's tech specifications and has been DQed from races on multiple occasions in the past, but in this particular instance, the Dutchman and his team manager Paul Tabak were especially frustrated by the circumstances. Tabak told Wielerflits that Van Schip's bike was UCI-approved and he was being disqualified for a position that other riders have used without penalty. "What a shitty sport," Van Schip said in a video (in Dutch) he posted to social media. [Instagram]
