“ Lappartient will put it in the regulations to ban it”

“It’s very good, I would like to congratulate Vingegaard because it’s rare for a great rider of his level to take his word and take a stand, especially in this area”said Madiot. “And the fact that he spoke out, I think that's good. Whether he used it or not, that's not the problem. What matters is that people don't use it anymore or don't use it. I appreciated his speech.”

“We must ban it, I have been saying it for several months. I sent a message to David Lappartient who had read it at the WorldTour general assembly. Let's be intelligent: if we all say it together, we stop it this thing is everything, period”he continues. “ Lappartient will put it in the regulations to prohibit it. He will put it in the regulations: it is forbidden to use it. There is a UCI general assembly in Liévin, we will talk about it.”
