Another setback for INEOS Grenadiers at La Vuelta - After struggling with heat, Thymen Arensman abandons with Covid-19
CyclingWednesday, 28 August 2024 at 13:08
As the Vuelta a España continues, the Covid-19 outbreak continues to grow in size. In the space of only a few days, several riders have already left the race with the virus and now Thymen Arensman is also one of them.
INEOS Grenadiers are having an unlucky set of days. Whilst Carlos Rodríguez is having good form and battling for the overall classification, he is running out of support in the mountains. 24 hours after Laurens de Plus abandoned the race with Covid-19, now Thymen Arensman has gone down the same path. The Dutchman has been struggling a lot with the heat and was suspected of having suffered from heat stroke only a few days ago.
The race finally left the deadly temperatures of central and southern Spain, for a more moderate summer in Galicia, but as soon as it happened the Dutchman came down with Covid and withdraws from the race.
He follows the likes of Patrick Konrad (also from Covid-19) and Lorenzo Rota who will not start today's stage 11, in which Rodríguez will need team support in a day with several short and steep climbs.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
