Elisa Balsamo was disqualified from today’s Paris Roubaix Femmes for this rather long bottle handover from the team car!

Wow lol
"Punch it"
You wasted all that training and time to be disqualified for this? I hope you lose sponsorships too. Nobody should be able to do this if they'll cheat that shamelessly.
Wtf did she expect tho
Cheaters ….
Here. Put this water bottle in your bike cup holder . I placed a fishing line onto it so i can give you a tow 😀 trust me we will become champions if we pull this off!
so…. when did people start taking riding bikes so seriously?
The fact this women is “world champ” and still resorts to cheating is just.. like this is why people don’t respect woman’s sports.. clowns like this ruin it.
Women cheating as usual lol
Why didn’t they hold it by the cap? Wouldn’t that be the best part to no get sticky and still hold?
Rightly so aswell you cheater
This happens all the time. Getting dragged by the team car. As long it's not too much it doesn't doe much.
And… she can hold on to the bottle as long as she likes
Clown
Disgusting! How can they do that, those bottles can be incredibly sticky 😵
Sticky bottled again
Got the star from Mario kart
😂
Typical cyclist. This was great to watch.
The nerve of her. That is not the first time she has done something like this. I’m almost positive that she has been using sneaky behavior like this through out her whole life. 😮😮👎👎
Sticky there is no Sticky this only happens when you want to be a cheater and not cyclists but the coaches inside the car
Why didnt the car let go?
How did they think they were gonna get away with it with a camera RIGHT BEHIND THEM??? That's just plain stupidity. Unbelievable. What a role model. Should b ashamed of yourself. People work so hard, sacrifice so much to win fair n square, I'm glad they DQd her.
Geniuses
She held it for so long like if that was man bits and not a bottle 😂😂😂
Way to disgrace the RAINBOW JERSEY!!! That really is disgraceful!!
I've watched the tour de France and have seen guys hold on to the car for a half a mile with no penalty.
How long did she remain in this position? She only rode 50-100m here in the video
and howmany mississippi's was that😁
Instead of filming FEED the poor cat..he’s malnourished.🙏
Woman act, if it was a man he would take steroids to circle more and faster! lol
She did it in front of the camera..what a dumb cheater and her trainer too 🤡🤡
Cheat
How they didn’t know
Kind of a woman moment
Cheating is the bad part of this sport…new rule should be made you cheat your warned before BAN! For life and all titles taken!!
Tricheuse
Good. Now they should start DQing for drafting the team car and then we are good.
Rider:let go!
Driver:wait it's the wrong bottle!
Well shoot there taking her past other riders. Good she got taking out.
Bull shit that's what the sport turns into
It becomes a very sticky disqualification when one gets caught lol 😂😅😂😅 #SantiniGiveaway
