Deceuninck-QuickStep ride🔯r defends himself after EF Pro Cycling rider cr𓃲ash

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bob Jungels (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Deceuninck-QuickStep) has expressed his regret at Sergio Higuita (EF Pro Cycling) 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:abandoning the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, ཧbut insisted the movement that led ✤to the Colombian crashing on stage 15 was “part of the sport”.
The Luxembourg rider also fell on Sunday after being hit by a race amb🌱ulance later in the stage.
Jungels was attempting to form a breakaway on Sunday when he swung off the front of the leading group and took out Higuita’s front wheel. Higuita got back on his bike but crashed again shortly after while trying to get back to the peloton and was forced to abandon the race in tears with a suspect💎ed broken hand.
“We were fighting for the break, I was on the front, and at one point I wanted to pass the turn on to Sergio. Without knowing, he was on my right, and other people told me he was looking back at that point, and there you go. Crashes like that are always unfortunate but that’s part of the sport,” Jungels sꦡaid at the finish on the Grand Colombier.
“I was swinging off to the right after an attack. I didn’t see him on my right side. Unfortunately, I📖 must have hit his front wheel, and yeah, I’m really sorry to hear he’s out of the race because of that crash. I d꧑on’t know what to say.”
EF ꩵPro C🃏ycling managed Jonathan Vaughters had tweeted to say he wasn’t happy with Jungels, but the rider himself didn’t feel he was at fault, even if he deeply regretted the consequences of the collision.
“Swiඣnging off to make another rider come to the front is something we usually do,” he said. “I didn’t see him on my right side and I’m just really sorry if there’s an﷽ything I’ve done wrong. It’s very unfortunate.

“I really feel bad for him. I spoke to his teammates afterwards, I didn’t even know if it was my fault or not, but I just said sorry to his 💛teammates. I spoke to [Rigoberto] Uran and [Jens] Keukeleire. There’s not much I can do at the end of the day but I’m really sorry for wha♓t happened.”
🐭Jungels hit the ground later in the stage in a collision with a race ambulance, but he was able to get back on his bike and finish the stage in 43rd place.
“An ambulance was coming from behind and ran me over,” he said. “It was bad luck. I was in the wrꦛong place at the wrong time.”
