Pro rider lashes out at Shimano claiming she was denied neutral service assistance at World Championships road race “Don’t buy Shimano” urges Luxembourg rider Christine Majerus after she was forced to abandon race yesterday due to puncture cycling
A pro cyclist who was forced to abandon yesterday’s women’s elite road race at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow has lashed out at Shimano after claiming that she was denied neutral service assistance after puncturing.
She wrote that while in normal circumstances, getting a puncture at the start of a race wouldn’t be a major problem, the nature of yesterday’s race meant that for her, the “race was done before it even started.” Her main ire, however, was reserved for the Shimano neutral service car, and she claimed that its staff had ignored her request for a wheel change.The Japan-based components company has provided neutral service in the sport since 2001 at a number of major races including, since 2021, the Tour de France after taking over duties at that race from Mavic, and its blue cars are a distinctive sight in the peloton.
