Like many sports, fixed. Maertens, a non sprint....translatr what the Maertens fan says as De Vlaemink receives alcalades.

Maertens was riding with a bike from a fan after he had a mechanical. He had also done most of the work. The fact that he didn't even sprint doesn't surprise me considering the circumstances. The fact that he kept doing all the work however, is something else.

I certainly would never disregard the potential for it being fixed, but I have blown to the moon before and barely been able to keep going forward so...
