Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux have been riding a very strong season so far, and today Alexander Kristoff took another strong win as he went on the attack and won the Eurométropole Tour after an aggressive display.
The four-rider breakaway survived until just over 40 kilometers to go as the main attacks began in the peloton. A tricky classic, several riders looked to get ahead and race on the right foot. With 19 kilometers to go Jasper De Buyst attacked, with Alexander Kristoff and Dries van Gestel responding.
The trio worked well together, but was caught with three kilometers to go by Victor Campenaerts who bounced from a chasing group. Campenaerts and van Gestel briefly went off the front, but the two other riders got back to the front.
The peloton was close by, as De Buyst did the leadout for the trio. Campenaerts launched the sprint first, however Alexander Kristoff had the legs to take the win in the end, with Campenaerts dropped to third as Dries van Gestel sprinted to second place.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
