Sergeant and Lelangue continue Twitter spat - "You already did most of the work and helped to create those holes"
CyclingSunday, 02 October 2022 at 22:32
The feud from within past and current Lotto Soudal management continued, as team CEO John Lelangue did not stay silent on the accusations of former team manager Marc Sergeant.
The whole situation comes from the departure of Lelangue as team's CEO. He took up the role in 2018, and will be leaving at the end of this season as the team is set to relegate out of the World Tour, to take up a position as the general manager of the Tour de Pologne.

The decision wasn't taken lightly by Marc Sergeant, former long-term manager of the Belgian team, who accused Lelangue of creating holes within the team, and later on being the first to "abandon the ship".
Lelangue responded on Twitter to this comment however, saying that "before I arrived (also after) you already did most of the work and helped to create those holes". He's also wrote "#truthwillsooncome" suggesting that it is Sergeant's to blame for issues within the team. After three complicated seasons, Lotto Soudal is set to relegate this season as they didn't manage to get enough points to complete the set of years within the best 18 teams in the men's peloton.

- What’s more, I think luxury is more the writers opinion than any objective evaluation, it certainly isn’t big and compared to many places not even costly (sou ds great in Kroner though). If I had to estimate, I’d say in value, Jonas’ 5 houses probably just about manage to equal Tadej’s apartment.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I don’t call the writers here journalists, they are at best paid posters, no more knowledgable than many of us. I certainly don’t agree with everything they say or portray but I do understand they have to provoke to make their hitherto business model sustainable. And as it isn’t possible to discuss with them, it’s more interesting, rewarding and instructive to pick points to discuss with people willing to engage. I choose and have my own reasons for positive of negative opinions on riders and engage when someone disagrees on those, not interested in engaging on other reasons. What I agree with or don’t is pretty irrelevant though, I think you’ll agree JV gets his fair share of lifestyle criticism (also here) so why should TP be exempt? Do you think he comes off worse?Mistermaumau11-01-2026

- Not exactly a recent development, been known in elite sports for decades and cycling since years : « Approximately one in five professional cycling athletes will eventually develop a sport-related vascular problem. However, detecting such flow limitation is a diagnostic challenge as the sensitivity of the currently available standard diagnostic tools is limited. «Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Unfortunately, that is sounding more and more like a plausible explanation to this situation.

- it is too simple to base improvement on points alone. Quick-Step lost a lot of points but might gain more wins and are shifting their focus. Juan Ayuso might be addition by subtraction. and Ineos picked up a lot of points. Onley gets a boatload for being 4th in the Tour. but who’s racing for 4th place?!?!?mij11-01-2026
- All very sad. But you seem to be backing the journalists in generally demonising Tadej and canonising Jonas. This article is interesting though, and suggests Jonas is making very good financial decisions, acquiring luxury homes that he and his family are enjoying living in, and staying near family (also now in luxury homes) who can help with the kids. Sounds like a great lifestyle, and not a basis for critising Pog's decisions.Hills3311-01-2026

To be honest I can take this as a compliment @marc_sergeant coming from a specialist in this matter like you. Before I arrived (also after) you already did most of the work and helped to create those holes #history #honest #truthwillsooncome
Stel je voor, je krijgt een mooi schip, het was al decennia lang goed onderhouden en toch begin je er een gat in te maken,maar als het zinkend is,zorg je eerst voor een nieuwe andere boot en verlaat dan snel het zinkende schip #missiegeslaagd #schandalig
