"The law prevents us from doing anything more," Bernaudeau explained. "Officially, Alexandre is not suspended, becausಞe the judge🅷ment has been postponed. At the moment it’s true we've left him at home to give him the time to digest and understand this. It's serious. The accusations are serious. But today, legally, he has the right to race."
Following the de🔯cision taken by TotalEnergies and Geniez, the outcome of his appeal and any action to be taken by the UCI Ethics Committee remains to be seen.
