The cycling anti-doping organization CADF, independent of the International Cycling Union (UCI), must quickly make the conclusions of the investigation into Remco Evenepoel's crash in the Tour of Lombardy available. The president of the UCI, David Lappartient, insisted on this in a video conference with the Belgian media. He stressed that the UCI is especially vigilant about the transmission of data.
"The investigation is complete, they are finishing the report"
"The CADF has conducted a survey and also interviewed people. Since they are independent, I have no conclusions. Normally, the conclusions have to be quick," explained Lappartient. "The investigation has been completed, they are finishing the report. I don't have any more information at the moment."
Lappartient emphasizes that for the UCI the most important element would be the possible transmission of data during the race. "The goal of the UCI is to give all riders equal opportunities to ride. When data is sent, it must be shared publicly, as UCI rules are required."
Lappartient talks about physical parameters that indicate whether a rider is in good shape, such as wattages that are being pedaled, heart rate rhythms and other data that a team can use.
For the UCI president, Remco Evenepoel is "a great champion who we would like to see in competition again next year". "He won all the stage races he participated in this year. I hope the same for him next year".
In August, an investigation was opened into Evenepoel following images in which sports director Davide Bramati took an object from Evenepoel's back pocket after it had fallen. According to Deceuninck-Quick Step, it was a small bottle with nutritional supplements.
