"That really shouldn't happen certainly not as a Belgian champion" - Eli Iserbyt makes public apology to Ryan Kamp after cyclocross spat

The cyclocross season proper opened last weekend at Exact Cross Beringen. Although Lars van der Haar took victory, the big talking point afterwards was a nasty spat between Eli Iserbyt and Ryan Kamp mid race that led to the former's disqualification.
Their flashpoint came midway through the race as Iserbyt and Kamp almost came to physical blows after the crash, with the former even stomping hard on the latter's bike and then remonstrating angrily afterwards. A lap or so later, Iserbyt was spotted by cameras being spoken to by race commissaires. As mentioned, the result of that conversation with those in charge was a disappointing disqualification for the Belgian national cyclocross champion.
At a Belgian awards show, Iserbyt was hunted down by Het Laatste Nieuws and asked for comment on the whole debacle. "In retrospect, I simply saw that it was a big mistake on my part," the Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal star told HLN. "It was an unguarded moment, a wild reaction. That really shouldn't happen during such a sporting event, certainly not as a Belgian champion. I really do realise that."
This thankfully, seems to be the end of the matter too as Iserbyt reveals he has apologised to Kamp. "The apologies have also been made to Ryan, to the team, and also to the organisation," Iserbyt says insisting his regret. "To many people: I really do realise that it's not done. I myself am now looking forward to the next cross and am trying to start training again with good courage."

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
