Maxime Monfort, RTL sports consultant and former rider, returned to the fall of Remco Evenepoel and the other stars of the peloton during the Tour of the Basque Country. “Landa, Remco teammate, is in the lead when that is not normally his role“, he said. “But he is a regional player from the Basque Country so he knew this descent and perhaps wanted to put pressure on the opponents. He technically succeeds in the turn but behind it, it’s a box.“
Maxime Monfort explains that this place is “very dirty“, that is to say dangerous.”With a strip of concrete and that’s what creates the damage“, he explains.
A fall that forces the big favorites to abandon is quite rare. “The consequences are terrible“, says Maxime Monfort. “The top three in the general standings abandoning a World Tour race is unheard of.“
After Wout Van Aert a few days ago, is fate befalling the Belgians? “Yes but I have no explanation“, said the consultant. “It’s fate. It’s a reminder that cycling is a dangerous sport.“
