\u201cSuddenly, three guys jumped in the middle of the road and started waving to stop. How can you stop in one second,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Pogacar also said he at first thought he might be dealing with some kind of protest, which is common at bike races held on public roads. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was thinking maybe it\u2019s some protesters or something crazy is going on.\u201d <\/p>\n
The East Flanders public prosecutor\u2019s office announced it would pursue the riders for breaching road safety rules. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe offenders will be identified and a report will be filed,\u201d the local prosecutor\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
Race organisers forced the group that went through to slow down and wait for the rest of the peloton to catch up once the train had passed, but the breakaway was allowed to keep racing and they stretched their lead by nearly two minutes in that period. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe rule is a little bit weird. I don\u2019t know why they don\u2019t stop the breakaway, stop us and then restart normally like it should be. In the end, no complaints,\u201d said Pogacar. <\/p>\n
Belgian hero Remco Evenepoel, who finished third on the day, was also among the riders concerned.<\/p>\n
The offence could land them in court and incur a fine but race officials decided not to disqualify those involved in the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Up to 20 cyclists from the Tour of Flanders, including race winner Tadej Pogacar, could face action from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":587907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-587906","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=587906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/587907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
