![]() ![]() "I have a clear conscience and, whatever decision is taken, that’s the most important thing for me," Bouhanni wrote. The Frenchman took particular issue with Chassé noting that he only publicly commented on the matter and apologised after the UCI announced it was taking action. I have no interest in wanting to put us in danger."īouhanni insisted he was not overly worried about the threat of a ban from the UCI, despite Dylan Groenewegen's landmark nine-month ban seemingly setting a precedent in rulings on irregular sprinting. "And I repeat one last time, I never wanted to to make him crash. This is not the Care Bears sometimes there are crashes, but that’s part of cycling. "Everyone knows there are risks, unfortunately.

Although he broke his hand and will miss the Tour of Flanders, he felt lucky to have stayed upright and avoided more serious injury. Having started his earlier statement with an apology to the 21-year-old, he was not so conciliatory this time.īouhanni appears to have taken issue with an interview Stewart gave to Rouleur in which he regarded the apology as half-hearted and recounted how he saw his life flash before his eyes when Bouhanni veered left and pinned him against the barriers. But in this misfortune there is a lot of luck because in reality disaster was avoided."īouhanni also used his response to Chassé to address Stewart. "I’m a sportsman who became a father a few months ago, so believe me that, if only for my child, I would never take such risks consciously. "I’m not a thug," Bouhanni wrote, once again defending what he perceives as an unfair reputation. The injury I sustained was a simple fracture to my left wrist. He missed that year’s Tour de France after injuring his hand in a hotel fight, while he was sanctioned at the following Tour for lashing out at another rider. "Actively wanting to injure someone and put my rival’s life at risk as well as my own, that’s crazy talk."īouhanni has acquired a controversial reputation over the years, with the Cholet incident following similar relegations for irregular sprinting at Paris-Nice and the Hamburg Classic in 2016.
