Alberto Bettiol latest abandon as 2024 Tour de France continues to lose riders
CyclingSaturday, 13 July 2024 at 16:13
The abandons keep coming at the 2024 Tour de France with the latest of those riders to step off being EF Education - EasyPost's Italian national champion, Alberto Bettiol.
Whilst the Italian hadn't been notably struggling, Bettiol had according to EF Education - EasyPost boss Jonathan Vaughters on Discovery+, been complaining over the last few days of having pains in his legs. With the Olympic Games upcoming and not too many more opportunities to come for Bettiol at the Tour de France, the decision has been taken to abandon the Grand Tour on stage 14, following the likes of Tom Pidcock and Louis Vervaeke out of the race on this Saturday afternoon.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
