The UCI have confirmed they are considering further disciplinary action against Bahrain Victorious rider Filip Maciejuk after he sparked a huge crash during Sunday’s Tour of Flanders. 

Maciejuk was seen moving up along the side of the road with 140 km to race.  He then rode into a deep grass section, lost control of his bike and swayed across the road into the peloton.
