“I don’t know if he will be able to make a difference in Schoten in terms of result, but I hope that Mark will have a nice farewell. Still better than last Sunday”, Peter Van Petegem suggested in the broadcast yesterday.
Elke Weylandt is Operations Manager at Trek-Segafredo. She was formerly a press officer on that team and she regrets the radio silence of Bahrain-McLaren after the British tears.
“I cannot speak for them, but from my previous position it would have been different for our team.”
“We don’t know what’s going on there behind the scenes. But I was sad.”
“A driver like that who bursts into tears. He didn’t even know if it had been his last race. A shame, a shame.”
Bram Tankink: “It says a lot about that team. That would not have happened to you and many other teams. It is not possible. It is not going well.”
Peter Van Petegem: “There must be something wrong.”
Elke Weylandt: “Something is going on. You can communicate in a neat way, even if a rider does not perform what you expected. Give people a chance to say goodbye in beauty.”
