(Reuters) - Polish rider Filip Maciejuk of Bahrain Victorious has been suspended for one month for contributing to a crash during the Tour of Flanders in April, the International Cycling Union (UCI) said on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old rode up the side of the peloton on a footpath before losing control and swerving into other riders, causing a domino effect and numerous riders going down.
