Japan Cup, and his interview yesterday was also shitty (no apology towards Capiot, only blaming him and totally unreasonable "UCI maybe doesn't like me").Only based on yesterday? Kinda harsh I'd say...
Don't worry about it, he's winning stage 18Cort trying much, not getting much out of it. No wonder he is only 268th in the UCI ranking.
Yes, and he shouldIs that Jasper in the [attempted] breakaway?
But it was Capiots fault for veering that much after his leadout. To me it looked like Van Gils just tried to signal he was there, but due to the difference in speed Capiot tumbled down and the incident looked worse than it should.Japan Cup, and his interview yesterday was also shitty (no apology towards Capiot, only blaming him and totally unreasonable "UCI maybe doesn't like me").

I disagree. But Eisel shares your view, for example. Just think the way he went in with the shoulder was absolutely unnecessarily rough and Capiot really didn't move a lot, rather van Gils seeing a gap where there never was one.But it was Capiots fault for veering that much after his leadout.
