“I don’t know what you’re trying to get at. What went wrong?” Jasper Stuyven takes swipe at press after Belgium accused of underperforming at Glasgow worlds road race “You guys are always looking to put a strong Belgian team in a negative spotlight”
As the postmortem began on yet another silver medal for Wout van Aert at a world championships at the hands of Mathieu van der Poel, Van Aert’s Belgian teammate Jasper Stuyven hit out at what he regarded as the media’s highly critical analysis of the team’s tactics and approach, which the 31-year-old claimed was intent on casting “a strong Belgian team in a negative light”.
Despite the close but no cigar feel of Belgium’s road race, Lidl-Trek rider Stuyven didn’t take too kindly to being questioned after the race about the national squad’s apparent underperformance, such is the glare of the media scrutiny in his home country. “And then one guy is able to ride away and win by a minute and a half. So, what went wrong? Not much, really. I don’t know why you guys are always looking to put a strong Belgian team in a negative spotlight.”
