BEN TOWNLEY’S CRASH: HERLINGS IS EXONERATED

Stefan Everts said about Ben Townley’s knee injury from this incident, “The pass on Ben Townley by Herlings was unnecessarily aggressive. It’s a pity to see that things like that happen as Ben Townley hurt his knee. There are already so many injured riders and the season hasn’t even started yet. A little respect between riders is not misplaced. At the moment, we do not know how serious it is for Ben, but we will wait and hope for the best,” said Stefan Everts.

Jeffrey Herlings said, “I didn’t touch him.”
