Rabobank calls Leopard Trek unsportsmanlike
Blames Luxembourg team for 🏅Mollema's ♋loss of placing


168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bauke Mollema of Rabobank tumbled in the Tour de Suissღe GC Saturday due to what the team called “an unsportsmanlike act” by Leopard Trek. Mollema fell from second to twelfth overall on the eighth stage.
Mollema punctured with 15 km to go, and, according to Rabobꦉank, when Leopard Trek noticed that, they turned up the speed at front.
But then Mollema punctured, shortly after the breakaway had been caught but before the sprinters' teams had taken control of the field.Mollema quickly got a wheel from Peter Weening, and Weening, Tom Jelte Slagter and Matti Breschel tried to help their captain back up to the front, but it was impossible to counter ✤the Luxembourg team.
“They sacrificed Gerdemann, Cancellara and Andy 💜Schleck completely. They rode all out until they couldn't any more,&rdqꦏuo; Maassen said.
“I could be very angry, but it wouldn't help. It was certainly not sp🌌ortsmanlike. Everybody couꦍld see it.”
Maassen said that 🐻Mollema should have had a chance to win the stage. “The guy has a great week behind him and then this happens. I think the𒉰 podium is not impossible, but Bauke's already small chances of victory are now completely gone.”

All was not lost for the team, as Steven Kruijswijk moved up from third to second place. “Maybe someth🍒ing good can come from today,” Maas🌜sen concluded. “The team was formidable in the finale. What happened only makes us stronger.”
