There’s a lot of talk and race footage about very close packs in the pro field. There are many different videos where the front guys are drafting each other, which could be ok in any given video alone, but when it is filmed in different locations and also people onsite were shocked about it, it’s a bit shameful.
Specially the race winner appears wheelsucking many times. Alistair is usually at the front and we know he doesn’t like to just sit behind but push and break away, so not accusing all of them.
Apparently the group kept together and Keulen took a lot of profit out of it. IG videos from race organiser and Patrik Lange show him less than 2m away from other competitors.
Funk was very angry and accused him right after he crossed the line, with sb from Keulen’s team preventing them from fighting.
He was also too close last week in Barcelona and has been accused before.
It’s up to race officials to hand out penalties but up to each athlete’s professionalism to respect the other competitors.
