As it turns out though, those comments haven't gone down too well with some experts within the sport. Notably,
Michel Wuyts, on the Wuyts & Vlaeminck podcast, did not mince his words when reflecting on Vollering's post-race review. “They were the strongest team. On the Muur, Lorena Wiebes was outpaced by her 'clicking and clicking'. Because of the dominance, the race is put in the hands of FDJ, but they simply don't want to participate in that in the French camp,” blasts the experienced Belgian cycling expert. “It is ridiculous that she says it wasn’t her team’s fault. She is number one in the world together with Lotte Kopecky. If
Tadej Pogacar said that, everyone would tell him not to make a fuss.”
