The UCI has acted in the wake of Eli Iserbyt's actions against Ryan Kamp in the altercation that marked the cyclocross race in Beringen. The Belgian stepped on the derailleur of his former teammate, breaking it, before Kamp pulled him and a heated exchange of words took place. It took a week but the Belgian now takes in meaningful consequences.
“Eli has already apologized publicly, as well as to Kamp himself," team manager Jurgen Mettepenningen reacted. "I had hoped that his punishment with a disqualification and fine was already behind him. This additional sanction will affect the Superprestige ranking. In addition, Eli also misses out on starting fees and this is also a shame for the organizers of these three races. The UCI could have solved this differently.”
Iserbyt has been suspended for three races which is not a disaster at this point of the season, but does mean he will miss the first round of the Superprestige Cup in which he is the defending champion. Aditionally, he will pay a 2500 Swiss Francs fine already on top of the 100 he had previously payed,
Iserbyt has indeed raced this week in Ardooie, winning the men's race and is currently in good form. This set of races he will miss out on will have an impact on the upcoming European Championships which will take place in two weeks in Pontevedra, Spain. The Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal rider is certainly looking to be at the Koppenbergcross and this specific race with great form in search of big wins early in the season.

- Achilles heal lol. He has more mountain bike results than most full time mountain bikers will ever have.mij18-05-2025
- Primoz certainly had some sh*t luck today, and I feel badly for him, but that's racing. Now we're left an unexpected leaderboard, and I think that it's going to make the rest of this Giro very interesting to watch.

- Wout really needed this win. He needed it much more than Isaac did, and Isaac has the 'consolation' prize of leading the Giro now with a decent margin, so it was a win-win situation.santiagobenites18-05-2025
- He knows how to answer a tricky question that may get him into trouble with his teammates. All the best to him. May he win this GT!
KerisVroom18-05-2025 - So happy for Wout, what an epic stage!awp18-05-2025
- Awesome stage, awesome Wout and ... majestic Del Toro! he deserves to be the UAT captain, he WON it on the road, not with promises and words .
maria2024202418-05-2025 - So happy for Wout. After all the negative press, he comes back and shows why he’s a true champion.Pedalmasher18-05-2025
- I expected Isaac del Torro to exceed Ayoso in the future after the TT stage, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. So, how will the team dynamics play out for the remainder of Giro? Is UAE still going to ask him to be the domestique for Ayuso? I don't expect Ayuso to help him at all even if Isaac extend his lead. It's going to be spicy if UAE makes him one of the co-leaders.KerisVroom18-05-2025
- So happy for Wout. All the critics dragged his name through the mud this Spring. Hell of a win for Wout!TideRide3218-05-2025
Once again the UCI being as consistent as the Belgium weather, however I think this time they got it right.
Such a spoilt brat. They obviously race on very expensive bikes with expensive components.
It's heartbreaking seeing the footage of him stomping on the bike with no regard for his privileged position.
It's good to see the UCI making a good decision for a change. Maybe there's hope for them.
Seems pretty fair.
Finally he is getting his just deserts
