Museeuw received a phone call from Tchmil: “I don’t know if I’ll still be there tomorrow”

Tchmil lives in Moldova, not far from where the war is raging. He has sent his wife and children to Romania, but he himself remains where he is. To fight there.

Johan Museeuw tells the story of his phone call with his former rival on social media. Tchmil is a former winner of Milan-Sanremo, the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, among others.

Museeuw is deeply impressed. Because of the war in Ukraine, everything else becomes secondary, he says.
