Quarrel after dangerous sprint: ‘You clearly have no brain cells’ | Cycling

sport">The images clearly show how the Frenchman from Arkea-Samsic almost drives his colleague Jake Stewart into the gates. The Groupama-FDJ driver, recently second in Omloop het Nieuwsblad, can barely prevent a fall at full speed. Afterwards, the Briton went to get a story from Bouhanni, who was disqualified by the jury.

sport">“Hey Nacer, I would like to ask you: “What were you thinking now?” But you clearly have no brain cells, ”Stewart tweeted. “It is ironic that you told me after the race that I was no respect had. Here’s an educational video about what ‘no respect’ looks like. ” The images then show how Stewart can barely stay upright.

sport">Bouhanni, who initially finished third, has wisely not reacted after his disqualification. It is not the first time that he has been discredited. His nickname is ‘De Bokser’ for a reason. He has that nickname not only because he aspires a career in the martial arts, he also dealt a blow to a colleague in the full final. And in 2016 he missed the Tour de France after a brawl in the hotel.

Safety

sport">Safety has become an increasingly recurring item in cycling in recent years. Especially around bunch sprints, there is a lot of discussion about the actions of sprinters. For example, last year Dylan Groenewegen was suspended for nine months after he catapulted Fabio Jakobsen from the bicycle during his evasive maneuver.

sport">As of April 1, numerous new rules will be introduced that should improve safety in cycling.
