Cycling Deceuninck is not happy with the fotorel in San Juan. The main sponsor wants to have a internal conversation with the stakeholders. “This behavior, we do not accept”, says Jérôme De Bruycker, marketing manager at Deceuninck, to Cyclingnews.

Keisse was afterwards by the organisation of the Tour of San Juan from the round rolled. And that decision shot by Patrick Lefevere in the wrong throat. “If it is of me, get the team collective from the Tour of San Juan”, she said.
The riders remained in the race, but came after the end of the fourth leg does not show up for the award ceremony. The main sponsor Deceuninck is not happy with the situation. “This behavior (referring to attitude Keisse, ed.) we do not accept,” says De Bruycker to Cyclingnews. “We get a lot of comments on social media, but also via email.”
