Federico Pellegrino entered the sprint as one of the main favorites after Johannes Kläbo was forced to cancel his participation due to illness.
However, the Italian, third in the overall sprint cup, smoked already in the quarter.
He entered second in the final curve with Frenchman Richard Jouve notched in the heels. Jouve took the curve sharply and drove over Pellegrino who fell.
An insane Italian gestured wildly and in the finish, the irritation was still great.
- As you could see, the French always do this. He has been allowed to do this several times. He does not show respect. Over the years he has been able to do this several times without being penalized. Only a crazy person does that way, he tells SVT Sport.
