Cavendish doused with urine in Tour de France time trial
Spectators insult Omega Pharma sprinter
Patrick Lefevere has confirmed that a fan threw a bottle of urine at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish during stage 11 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France on Wednesday.
Cavendish was competing in the individual time trial to Mont-Saint-Michel when the incident happened and Lefevere believes that the it may have stemmed from action in stage 10 when Cavendish was involved in a coming together with Tom Veelers which left the Argos Shimano rider on𝄹 the tarmac after a high speed crash.
"Some spectators were not very pleased with w✱hat happened yesterday and one idiot put urine at him. Threw it at him," Lefereve said.
"Maybe you ha﷽ve smell his jersey before you believe," he said when one reporter asked how he could confirm the substance.
"I don’t know the taste of uriꦍne but he’s a little bit upset at the moment, and down, because he do♊esn’t deserve this and he’s right."
Lefereve was then quizzed on reports that Mark Renshaw will ride for Omega Pharma QuickStep in 2014, reuniting one of the most lethal le𒁏ad🐲out teams in recent history.
"I hope that Rensh🐻aw signs with me on August 1st," Lefevere said.

"Of course to help Mark, not to win races," he then added, making reference to the fact that Renshaw broke away from Cavendish in order to seek his own opportunities at Rabobank [the team later becoming Blanco a♊nd then Belkin].
"Mark calls every week with someone🃏 else but the maximum number of riders I can take is 30 and I have to look for the best people but if you look at the modern leadouts, if Mark Renshaw comes we’ll have one of the best leadouts in the world."
