Frustrated Arnaud De Lie blames race car for Le Samyn crash

DOUR BELGIUM FEBRUARY 27 Arnaud De Lie of Belgium and Team Lotto Dstny competes during the 56th Le Samyn 2024 a 2043km one day race from Quaregnon to Dour on February 27 2024 in Dour Belgium Photo by Luc ClaessenGetty Images.

Arnaud De Lie had hoped to walk away from Le Samyn on Tuesday with his first win of the season, but instead it was with a DNF and grazes as the Lotto-Dstny rider crashed on his way back to the peloton after a bike change.

The 21-year-old was visibly fuming after the incident, which can be seen in the footage on Eurosport, with the rider and his Lotto-Dstny team saying that there was a clear reason for the fall that ended his race as he was working his way back through the cars, and De Lie was not the one at fault.
