Tour de France

Matthew Goss hit with 30-point penalty

By , Staff Reporter
Michael Goss is docked 30 points in his Tour de France campaign after coming out of his sprint line towards the end of the 12th stage.

Tour de France cyclist Matthew Goss's bid to claim the green jersey has hit a stumbling block after the Australian was docked 30 points by officials.

The 25-year-old was hit with the penalty after committing an irregular sprint by coming out of his sprint line at the end of the 226km 12th stage.

Race director Jean-Francois Pescheux said: "He didn't stay in his line. He changed his line then made quite a big mistake, it's clear to see."

Meanwhile, David Millar clinched the 12th stage of the tournament, while Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins retains the overall lead.
