Richard plugThe Manager of the Visma: “It's sad …”
The boss of the Batavian team, Richard plugalso spoke about his runner's victory over this Vuelta : “I am above all very happy and proud of this final victory. It is sad that we and the supporters could not attend a beautiful final in the heart of Madrid. We will celebrate the red jersey with our team in our own way and will honor this fantastic feat. Nowadays, sport is increasingly used as a platform to approach social issues. We must understand that sport is above all a question of connection. It can create links and promote mutual understanding. But participants must be protected: they cannot be victims of this social debate. This debate must always remain outside the arena of athletes. Otherwise, it is the essence of sport as a unifying force that is threatened. “
