– I’ll openly responsibility for what has happened. Sorry to my colleagues, to the riders, and definitely for the Tour. I know that this was an inappropriate time, especially considering the great media attention, he said.
– Sorry for my teammates in fantastic Katjusja. I hope my absence does not prevent good results in the end, he writes.
– I’ll try to figure out how this could happen. But one thing I want to emphasize. There is evil in the world, he writes.
– So to those who wish me well – this is not over, he adds he said.
– Forget the critics. I hope, with close cooperation with the UCI, we can get more clarity on how this could happen, he continues.
– Good night to critics, and especially to those that have proven to be friends. Excuse again, he concludes, he concludes.
