The thirteenth stage of the
Tour de France was one of peaks and valleys for
Lotto Dstny. While Maxim van Gils excelled at the Grand Colombier with a second place in the day result, the formation saw their sprinter
Caleb Ewan step out of the Tour. Teammate and loyal helper
Jasper de Buyst tells Sporza that he is very disappointed with the decision of his leader.
"I heard it through the grapevine. It is very disappointing," De Buyst responds to the news about Ewan. "There is not much positive to say about it. I didn't feel like it was of any use to him anymore. In the Tour you have to try to get through every day. That is why I rode 100 miles with him alone in the wheel yesterday."
