As expected the polemics regarding the men's #BK2023 #cyclocross race are in full swing.
When checking for the hashtag #BKveldrijden on the birdie network, I could not find one person defending what the mechanics of Pauwels Sauzen did in #Lokeren.
This was foul play, and foul play should never be rewarded with a win in sports.
Shame on Jurgen Mettepenningen and his team: no #fairplay trophy for you guys.

Turns out it's NOT allowed to change position in the techzone during the race.
So there was clear foul play at hand even without getting in Sweeck's way and face twice.
Pauwels Sauzen is not known as a team that excels in fairplay, but today at the #BK2023 they engaged in foul play.

This clearly was and is not okay. And yes: Shame on Jurgen Mettepenningen.

At the start of Belgium's championships race in #Lokeren, the support team of Vanthourenhout was positioned at the END of the tech zone. They then changed to the beginning of the zone where they got in the way of Sweeck twice, not once.
Sweeck understandably is pissed and does not hold back in the post-race interviews. He's blaming the mechanics of Vanthourenhout to have done this on purpose. There you've got the polemics I was expecting.

The win in the men's #cyclocross #BK2023 in #Lokeren is for Michael Vanthourenhout who kept Laurens Sweeck at a few meters throughout the final lap.
The way this gap occurred was all but okay however, and trust me: there will be polemics after this race about what happened in the tech zone not once, but twice.
Thibau Nys gets the Bronze medal at an age of 10 years. Eli Iserbyt finishes in 4th. And Gerben Kuypers wins the title for elite men without a professional contract.
