About the apron thing... I think Bos was not relegated because he was in the middle of the corner and his dive took him off-track, then he got back onto the track surface as soon as he could. He didn't intentionally use the apron to come underneath someone in the sprinters lane. But it's a judgement call by the officials. Not to mention a decent display of bike handling...
