“Bad behaviors in certain teams, more respect … We do not play our life anyway”
“The news is simple“, he started by explaining in comments reported by The Parisian. “She is shocked by this fall arrived in the last kilometers. We had done everything well but we cannot manage the behavior of some that take too many risks. I cannot blame them because there is so much importance on this Tour de France. Half was ejected on the ground. Hot, she suffers from a real big knee and left buttock pain. We will have to take the time. We haven't checked with the doctor. We are going to return to the hotel, check with the physiotherapist, the osteo and the doctor before going to the hospital afterwards. We will have more news after night. I want to stay positive. Half is determined. Physical integrity is the most important. She was able to make home-trainer“.
“This morning, she insisted to be in front. It's the right tactic“, He continued before attacking the other teams of the female peloton.”We cannot master the trajectories of our opponents. I would just like to emphasize the real lack of respect in the peloton. We said it on the Tour de France male too. There are bad behavior in certain teams. There is no longer respect for certain leaders and certain sprinters. I would like to push a real rant because with ASO, we mentioned it this morning. The athletes themselves create dangers. The bikers find it difficult to go up in the lines. There, it is an individual behavior of someone who takes too many risks in a turn and can destroy the Tour de France for Demi Vollering. All the teams really have to be careful. We don't play our life anyway“.
“We will make the decision on Tuesday morning, a good night will enlighten us”
“She is clearly shocked. For those who have bicycle, falling at this speed is always shocking especially when you have been concentrated for several hours. You have to let the shock pass. We are fortunate to have a big medical team around her. The most important thing is that it is on the home trainer and performs the recuperated protocol. If it is shock -related muscle pain, it can be going well. If it takes several days to recover, we will make the decision tomorrow morning. A good night will enlighten us. We want to stay positive“, the conclusion Stephen Delcourt On a slightly more optimistic note. Answer so Tuesday morning to find out if Full will continue or not his dream of winning a second round.
