Reminder, Ethical Markboss Burgos TowerSpeak into a microphone channel team The day after the accident, with special reference to the technical defect committed by David Decker. ““It was not a speed bump, it was a pedestrian crossing no more than 2.5 cm high, on a slope. This obstacle was indicated by signs on the ground and by flags. The last 3 km we prepared, we showed it to the runners, and it is impossible to find a way by removing roundabouts or trails like this. It was a mistake on the part of the jockey (David Decker). He realized it and asked for forgiveness, and I, too, ask forgiveness. I’m not saying it’s just his fault, it’s everyone’s fault, but you can’t demonize the organizer because it has been reported. I think the end of the stage was correct. We take our responsibility, but we cannot demonize the organizer.”It is to explain.
