Amund Jansen undergoes surgery to treat Ilical Endofibrosis - "If everything goes well, I can start training again"
Cycling
This season has been disappointing for Team BikeExchange-Jayco rider Amund Grondahl Jansen. This season, he competed in only ten races, finishing 31st on a stage of the Tour of Hungary as his best result.
His performance was frustrating so he set out to find out why it was happening, and he quickly found the answer. “The realization of some kind of numbness in my right leg and pain in my back was a recurring problem until a diagnosis was made. In the period when I had enough time to walk with the family, play padel, cycle with my brother and get married, I also thought about the important choices in life. However, I was then able to go to a vascular surgeon with a good track record in the Netherlands, who could help me with the problem," he wrote on Instagram.
He travelled to the Netherlands, where he recently underwent surgery. “The operation seems to have gone well. Now I will have to be patient for a couple of months, and then, if everything goes well, I can start training again, hopefully with two working legs,” concluded Jansen. The Australian WorldTour jersey will be Jensen's start to the season if all goes well.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
