"Pogacar stated, 'The signal for them to stop came in too late. Suddenly three guys jump on the middle of the road and start waving to stop. How can you stop in one second?'"
"The East Flanders public prosecutor's office intends to prosecute the riders, who could face fines ranging from 320 to 4,000 and a driving ban of eight days."
"Race officials ordered the riders who went through the crossing to slow down so the rest of the peloton could catch up to them again."
Tadej Pogacar, who won the Tour de Flanders for the third time, is being investigated for allegedly running a red light at a railway crossing. Belgian officials confirmed the investigation into Pogacar and other riders who did not stop. Local media reported potential fines and driving suspensions for those found guilty. Pogacar claimed the stop signal was given too late, making it difficult to halt in time. The race, known for its challenging route, is one of cycling's prestigious one-day events.
