Robbie McEwen's abandonment with 1.5 km to go in the fifth stage of the Tour Méditerranéen, which ended in a bunch sprint, caused a few ripples in the Lotto-Domo camp, not the least from team director Hendrik Redant.
Redant said the Lotto-Domo team was built around McEwen for the Tour Méditerranéen, and wasn't impressed at his abandonment. "I understood Robbie was frustrated with his form but I made it clear to him that that sort of behaviour won't be tolerated. His attitude toward the team was incorrect," said Redant to Het Nieuwsblad.
McEwen admitted, "Ok, it wasn't an elegant thing to do. I was wrong. I said stuff this because I was feeling tired. I should have bitten the bullet just a little longer.
