> “We received a report ten kilometers from the finish line that Zingle had been taken out of the race,” says the Belgian former cyclist. “At first we didn’t know what it was about, but later we heard there were images of him hanging onto the car.” 

> Reportedly, it was not Wynants, but general manager Richard Plugge who was behind the wheel. “Look, we regret the incident. This does not contribute to the image of cycling. It happened in the background after a flat tire and it did not affect the result, but it should not have happened.” 

> “Once again: we regret the incident and accept responsibility. Just because something like this happens often in races does not give us the right to do the same.”

lol not an ounce of regret in that statement
