The team Quickstep bus has been siezed by french police and transported to la roche sur yon.

No news yet on why (but putting it in the clinic anyway)

Probably no road tax and unroadworthy tyres or something.

I am reading that it's more than a bus.

I love this sport but recently it's been making me sick.



Edit: routine check it seems

Carrying your dope on your bus is so yesterday. I heard the left indicator was not functioning. Routine traffic stop...

Well that's gonna throw a wrench into it...

Maybe Sven S had more Belgian contacts than were originally thought...

Or maybe that other guy. The one who drives a bus occasionally...

Quickstep is doing it wrong. Everyone knows that you are supposed to have an old buddy bring the goods in by private jet with the fuel paid for by chumps who think they are fighting disease.

Yeah, those part-timers are SO unreliable!

As my kid says, "Never trust a bunny"...

Maybe Quickstep was using the old "broken down bus" ploy and the gendarmes figured this out.

 

[JMBeaushrimp]

Keep it up, Dim...

Have they actually found anything? Being searched in itself is hardly news, except if they actually find something.

It's news in that it's going to scare the hell out of everybody regardless of what they find. Wim, Sven and now this. They're going to feel the pressure.

pretty heavy police escort

 

[The Hitch]

Another team. Wow.

 

[Cimacoppi49]

I have to think they were operating on a tip of some kind. Makes little sense to just impound one bus with no other information.

Being searched in itself is hardly news, except if they actually find something.

When it means being pulled over at the side of the road and boarded, a search isn't much. When it means being impounded and taken to a secure police facility under escort, it might mean a bit more...

Quick-Step spokesperson Allesandro Tegner confirms the news. 'The police have searched our bus and seized it. Our driver, team leader and Wilfried Peeters are at the police station. I don't know what the police is looking for', says Tegner.

Belgian beer. Sorry, truly apologize. Total pet peeve of mine.

99/100 times this is the French police acting like total retards again and absolutely nothing is found.

Bunch of pumped up idiots = French police
