Pogacar, Evenepoel among riders being investigated by police over running red light at level crossing

An official investigation has been opened by the Belgian police into the two dozen riders who ran a red light at a railway level crossing during Sunday’s Tour of Flanders.“Ignoring a red light at a level crossing is a fourth-degree offense, the most serious category under traffic law, which can have severe consequences,” said the East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office in a statement. “Such an offense poses serious risks to the safety of both the riders and third parties. Therefore, these infringements are severely punished.”Advertisement
