Didn't Wegmuller get a plastic bag caught in the cassette in the sprint?

Yes a bag got caught in the mech, which prevented him from getting in a more suitable sprinting gear. However, Wegmuller was not renowned for his sprint prowess, and Demol had played a more cagey game in terms of working in the group, so it is very likely Demol would of been the winner anyhow.
