Cyclisme : Ename Samyn Classic Director Dismisses Wout van Aert's Sabotage Theory

Ename Samyn Classic race director Ludwig De Winter defends against Wout van Aert's sabotage claims following his late puncture. Van Aert punctures 10km from the finish, resulting in two bike changes and a 60th place finish. He notes an unusual presence of broken glass on the course, suggesting it could be sabotage. De Winter responds, stating the organizers received no reports of sabotage or broken glass. He describes Van Aert's incident as "an unfortunate coincidence," emphasizing that flat tires are common in the Ename Samyn Classic, especially near cobbled sectors. De Winter confirms that post-race discussions with local law enforcement revealed nothing suspicious. “Perhaps [Van Aert] witnessed something else, but that information hasn't reached us yet,” he adds. The controversy remains as Van Aert continues to seek clarity on his misfortune.
