In 2020, two of cycling's most exciting sprinters suffered a horrific crash. This year, they're aiming for redemption at the Tour de France.
Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen was literally and figuratively a broken man following a crash almost two years ago which had dire consequences for him and Tour de France rival Fabio Jakobsen.
The four-time Tour stage winner headlines the Australian-registered BikeExchange-Jayco team, which he joined at the beginning of this season in what was a fresh start following a long tenure at Dutch squad Jumbo-Visma. "So, it is quite hypocritical. The suspension that was handed out to Dylan compared to a fine that was handed out to a guy who physically punched a bloke two times and then went after him after the finish line."
"But our total focus now is on trying to win a stage of the Tour de France and be as competitive as we can here over the next three weeks." "They've lined up a lot of times together this year in sprints, even if it wasn't for the win, but there's a bond there and a trust there that's going to hold them in good stead for the Tour," White said.
