168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Deceuninck-QuickStep riders 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yves Lampaert and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tim Declercq, along with former teammate Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, appeared in court on Tuesday, testifying that the actor and TV presenter Melvin Klooster assaulted 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Iljo Keisse in a nightclub brawl in 2017.
The trio were summoned at the request of Klooster's legal team, who wanted to examine 'ambiguities' in the witness statements they provided at the time, according to news agency Belga.
Klooster is accused of punching Keisse in the head, with the Belgian rider 𒁃falling to the ground and into shards of glass, suffering injuries to his hand that kept him out of the 2017 Gent Six Day. The prosecution service is demanding a two-year prison sentence, but Klooster has denied he was the one who punched Keisse.
On Tuesday, Lampaert, Declercq, and Van Keirsbulck all testified that they saw Klooster as🐲sault Keisse.
"He attacked him from behind. I saw that," said Declercq, according to Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad. "A🧜nd no, I hadn't drunk so much th🍰at I couldn't remember it exactly."
The incident took place on October 11, 2017, following an end-of-season QuickStep team-building day. Several riders went to Antwerp for the ni♏ght, partying in the Roxy nightclub until the early hours.
“Once a year we got permission from the team to go out together," said Lampaert. "Around 5am I started t💮o gather everyone to go🎀 to the team's hotel in Brussels. We would return by taxi."
Declercq continued to recount the episode: "When we came out, we were faced with a brawl. Two men were kicking and🍎 hitting a guy who was on the ground. I was shocked by so much violence.
"We thought Fernando Gaviria was on the ground, so we intervened by standing around the victim. Then it turned out it was someone 🅰else. Iljo Keisse helped the man up."
At that point, Keisse was knocked to the ground.
“I recognize🌳d Melvin𓆏," said Lampaert. "It all went very quickly, but I saw him waving his arm and then saw Iljo's knees give way. He hit his temple."
According to Nieuwsblad, the riders had already run in to Klooster earlier in the night after a conversation between Fernando Gaviria and Klooster's girlfriend, with Lampaert claiming the presenter's ego w𝄹as bruised.
Lampaert repꦉortedly dismissed suggestions from Klooster’s lawyer that the riders had conspired to frame his client.
“Of course we talked about those events afterwards – it was an eventful evening. But align our statements? We can on﷽ly say what we saw.”
The long-running trial is now expected to conclude with a verdict in June. In a🐭ddition to a possible prison sentence for Klooster, Keisse, who injured a tendon in his hand, is seeking €90,000 in compensation.
Keisse 🔜is currently racing at the Tour of Turkey, while Lampaert is in action on Wednesday at Brabantse Pijl.
“May I leave now&𓂃rdquo;, Lampaert reportedly asked the judge when he was finished giving evidence. "I have to race on Wednesday."
