"This really should have been for Frank van den Broek" - Stef Clement disagrees with Tour stage and yellow going to veteran Bardet

Stef Clement has lashed out at dsm firmenich-PostNL in his Tour de France commentary for NOS. According to the former cyclist, the Dutch team should have let the young Frank van den Broek win the stage in Rimini instead of veteran Romain Bardet.
Clement shook his head at the finish when Bardet and Van den Broek crossed the finish line together, with the Frenchman in front. "This really should have been for Frank van den Broek," he said irritated. "I don’t care if no one at dsm-firmenich PostNL wants to talk to me anymore, but this victory really should have been given to the 23-year-old Van den Broek. He deserved it, he rode for it himself and he was the stronger one. Also in the final."
Clement points out that the 33-year-old Bardet already his large palmares as a pro, while for Van den Broek this could have been 'once in a lifetime' opportunity. "This is a fourth stage victory for Bardet. That won't change his career anymore. Yes, the yellow, but you couldn't distribute it fairly. Then you should have sent it to Frank van den Broek," Clement believes.
Then Clement turns to tell his young compatriot: "You don't know if you will ever get this chance again, while Bardet has had and taken his chances. He will retire richly. And you could have given your career a mega boost today. Everyone saw that you were the strongest. As far as I am concerned, it is a real injustice, not as it should be."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
