Tour de France: "He's got the Seem!" They lost in the peloton, Vauquelin room the Belgians eliminated from the World

During the Tour de France stage between Périgueux and Bergerac, French cyclist Kévin Vauquelin made a comment towards Belgian riders, referencing their recent elimination from the FIFA World Cup by Spain. The Belgium national team was defeated 2-1 in the quarter-finals, leading to Vauquelin mocking them while cycling alongside his team. His remarks were directed at Remco Evenepoel, a prominent Belgian rider, and included phrases like 'il a le seum' (likely a slang term implying weakness or lack of strength), followed by repeated references to Belgium's loss. This moment occurred during a relatively slow pace of the race, with a small group of riders ahead.
