After a farcical team time trial in heavy rain and dark conditions, more than a few riders took to social media to express their disgust
De Gendt voiced his thoughts in reply to an at-length social media post by CPA riders' union president Adam Hansen, the Belgian's former teammate, who said his "list of items to submit for changes is getting longer after today's TTT".
"No one is complaining about only the time, but having it late encounters more risk, and if those risks happen, do something. But they didn't. It's not my race. It's not my governing rules. But they should be responsible, don't you also think?" "Yes, you are right, CPA couldn't do much because of the situation I noted above. So I think your 'hatred' should be directed at maybe the UCI or organisers for letting riders start or allowing this. I also have learnt today that late start times are not a problem, only when there is heavy cloud cover. No one expected it.
"The rain was forecast. The sunset time was definitely known before, as was the course but then the complaints come after the event. Feel sorry for the riders affected but this won't be the last time."
