[Updated] Avancini: “Schurter give s**t to the other racers”

World champion against world champion: the 2018 marathon champion, Henrique Avancini, said that “I mean, he (Schurter) just gives shit to every rider on the peloton and nobody know this side of him. And I really hate that: I’m a guy that works quite hard to get to this level, to get on this point of a professional career, and he is always like giving shit to every rider … He likes to be the bigger boss and he is the best rider, but honestly as I said, on this race he is not the capitan of the boat, I’m not scared of him. It’s a long week and I hope we are going to have a nice fight on the next few days, and little by little he is going to show his face, as always“.

The Brazilian looked quite angry at the end of Stage 1 of the 2019 Cape Epic, in which he and his team colleague Fumic finished second after Schuter’s and Forster’s Scott Sram team.

You can hear the interview starting from 2:33″15 in the video above.
Words of frustration for today’s result, or something more? Let’s don’t forget the controversy during the 2018 Marathon World Championships: in the video below you can see Avancini getting off the bike on a very steep climb and putting his Cannondale Scalpel kind of crossways. His competitors had to get off too and walk. That’s racing, man!

Anyway, the Cape Epic is still very long and the riders can “fight” just pushing on the pedals. We can’t wait!
