Gianni Moscon has been suspended for five weeks by cycling’s world governing body, the UCI, after he tried to hit another rider at this year’s Tour de France.
Footage shows the Italian Team Sky rider lashing out at Team Fortuneo-Samsic's Elie Gesbert during stage 15 of the race.
Moscon, 24, was disqualified from the race following the incident.
He has since apologised for his actions: "I reacted in the heat of the moment and it was never my intention to hit the rider.
"As the footage shows I didn't make contact, but I regret my actions and I have already apologised to both Gesbert and Team Fortuneo Samsic for the incident."
Last year, Moscon was suspended by Team Sky for six weeks after racially abusing a rival.
He was also disqualified from last year's World Championship road race after hanging onto a team car.
