Alex Aranburu is one of the great assets of the Spanish team to try for a medal at the 2024 Olympic Games. The Movistar Team rider is looking forward to the Paris event, making it clear that it is a reward for all the hard work he's done in his career leading up to this day.
"It's a dream, a gift, something you get with so much work, many years of training and sacrificing and getting here is a unique experience."
After a very tough Tour de France, the Basque claims to have regained his form after some rest: "After the Tour the first week I was a little tired but little by little you get into the dynamic of training and this week I've already felt pretty good, so I'm happy and we'll see what we can do."
The Games are a different race from the World Championships because the teams that accumulate more riders have a total of 4, so according to our colleagues from CiclismoAlDía, it is difficult to control them. Together with Oier Lazkano and Juan Ayuso he will try to get a medal for Spain. He is clear that the key will be to enter the decisive move to try to get the medal:
"I've never raced like this, I imagine a pretty crazy race, much more difficult to control. You have to be attentive, get into the right breakaway and fight in the race."

- 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
