Groupama-FDJ manager Marc Madiot has roundly rejected claims by his counterpart at Jumbo-Visma, Richard Plugge, that the riders from the French team had been seen drinking “big beers” on the second rest day of the Tour de France.
Plugge had made the accusations in an interview in LÉquipe, where he again defended his team from any kind of malpractice, insisting that race leader Jonas Vingegaard “did not even like taking paracetamol” and “refuses to use Ketones.”
