Radar merciless
Cycling stars flashed during Olympic road race!
Thank goodness Remco Evenepoel and Co. are riding without number plates - otherwise their Olympic road race appearance could have been expensive. At Issy-les-Moulineaux, the riders were caught by the radar at high speed.
The athletes had to complete 273 kilometers and 2800 vertical meters on Saturday - and were obviously in a particular hurry. The cyclists were flashed at 65 km/h - 15 km/h too fast past the measuring device. If you drive through the local area at such a speed outside of the Games, you can be fined heavily in France - around 135 euros are due for such an offense.
Curious: While the professional cyclists naturally do not have to fear any penalties, the motorcycles and cars in the peloton do have to adhere to the speed limits.
Second gold for Evenepoel
Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel crossed the finish line with the fastest time. A few days after his victory in the time trial, the 24-year-old raced to his second gold medal in Paris, with Marco Haller finishing sixth as the best Austrian.
