Men har noen sett om han kom med sin egen versjon av hva han egentlig gjorde med den hånden?
Bos' forklaring:
"- Jeg forsøkte bare å redde meg selv, og å holde ham unna. Men det var for seint. Jeg sakker av litt, han faller over mitt forhjul, og jeg faller over ham, forklarer nederlenderen." - TV2 Sporten.
Impeys forklaring:
"Well the final day of Tour of Turkey is over. It was really bitter-sweet for me as I would've like to enjoy the moment in yellow afterwards with my team who worked so hard to keep the jersey. I got taken down deliberately by Bos from Rabobank, you can even see it on youtube, only one word for him and that is a true chophead. He doesn't deserve to race anymore and I am thinking about going to the UCI about his dangerous riding. He tried to pass me 700m to go in the bunch sprint but there was no-where to go and all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me into the barriers. We both crashed.
I was taken down really hard and I broke a tooth,got stitches in my face and elbow and the worst part is that I have a slight fracture in L1 part of my bike so I am forced to lie in an hospital bed on my back without moving. It is very frustrating and really was not how I was expecting to enjoy my day in yellow. I would've have won it if I didn't have Patrick Calgani with me, I told him I want to finish. He said lie down,the ambulance will pick you up. I told him no, even if I take an hour to cross the line I will because I have ridden too hard and dug too deep to give it to someone else and my team had ridden so well,was the least I could do.
Patrick pushed me all the way and I crossed the line when I then lay on the side waiting for the ambulance. Even though I never made the podium, me team went up for me and will be remembered. I can tell you I'm going to see Bos again and tell him exactly what a chophead he is. No wonder he has come nowhere in the kicks this week, probably too busy trying be a hero and show everyone how he did it on the track..."
"I want to finish this Bos vs Impey story
So I have been receieving mail from everyone all over the globe, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Basically, I wrote how it happened and I have yet to see the video in slow motion.I'm not worried about anything really other than my health at this point. Maybe Theo could e-mail me and we can discuss what happened and we can sort things out. I understand racing, the risk involved and he did risk too much but if he didn't do it on purpose he should still be accountable for his actions because his hands were off the bars. An apology when we were in the ambulance together? It happens fast but so can ruining someones career so I am making myself available if he would like to sort this out properly. The decision is up to the UCI and I'm sure they will decide on the footage etc, I am the one lying in hospital in Turkey with all the problems, I sure as hell don't need anymore!!!!
I just want to relax and get better and ENJOY my recent success in Turkey." - Impeys hjemmeside.
Til Bos' forsvar er det Trond Vidar nevner veldig tankevekkende...i tillegg til oppsettingen av barrierene. Det blir sannelig interessant å se hvordan rittjuryens dom vil lyde...
