indeed really stupid decision to disqualify alos Boonen...if he wouldn't
have done that move he would simply have been down some k's earlier ...
Rojas swerved left in front of Boonen, *then* Boonen got ahead and
swerved right into Rojas. I suspect that's what the judges are
responding to.

Boonen was obliged to hit the brakes,
and was relegated because he did not.

Rojas swerved left pushing Boonen and Cav out, Boonen swerved right
pushing Rojas back and cutting off Cav between them.
Cav was dead in the water after Boonen had closed his attack up the left hand
side to avoid Rojas's swerve, nothing that happened after that was as anything
like as *bad* as Rojas's initial unnecessary deviation from his chosen sprinting
line.
