The delay of the Movistar team at the start of the inaugural team trial of the Vuelta female, Sunday in Barcelona, forced the Visma Lease team of Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt, only 10th of this first stage, to start without two of its runners. While the Dutch formation brought a complaint against the UCI, the Frenchman did not set off after the arrival.
The departure of the Vuelta female, Sunday in Barcelona, did not happen at all as Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt hoped (33 years old) and his Visma Lease a Bike team. The Frenchwoman and her teammates had to settle for a disappointing property in this first stage disputed in the form of a team time trial. A chrono that the Dutch training had to play without two of his runners, the fault on arrival at the very last moment (less than fifteen minutes from the departure, which earned him a fine) of the Movistar team but also and above all of incompetence, not to say the amateurism of the organization, which still took all its time to examine the velos of Vries and Imogen Wolff Despite this delay and has not deigned any more good at first to add a second inspector to the only initially planned to control the mounts of the competitors. An obvious dysfunction that brought Visma Lease to bike to file a after-the-control complaint and caused the team’s runners’ anger, “PFP” in mind.
Ferrand-Prévôt: “I can’t believe it”
“I can’t believe what happened this afternoon in one of the biggest races of the season, it’s so amateur,” weighed down the Olympic Cross-Country Mountain Mountain Mountaintle Highlights at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which disputes not only its first round in Spain but also its very first big round. The Marnese gone down all the less after this big hiccup that occurred from the entrance that she had made the race commissioners understand that if they did not accelerate, they were likely to prevent certain representatives from being able to present themselves in time at the start alongside their teammates. To the great regret of Ferrand-Prévôt. “It seems that the jury did not take us seriously when we told them that we would be late at the start if the control was not faster.” But nothing has done it.
