They need punishments to hand out lower than relegation. Even just an official sanction would help highlight that closing out to the barriers isn't kosher so riders can't complain when eventually someone does get punished for this dangerous stuff.

I think it would be radically unfair to penalize jasper by taking away the win when he's so obviously winning the sprint whatever happens, but they have to do something.
