'Best of the Rest' Adam Yates admits "it's hard to follow" when Jonas Vingegaard attacks

Finishing second on stage 7 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, Adam Yates put in a good performance. Eventual stage winner, Jonas Vingegaard though was simply on another level as Yates himself admits.
"When those guys attack like they're riding a bunch sprint, it's hard to follow. They go so fast," says the 30-year-old UAE Team Emirates rider in his post-stage interview, referencing both Vingegaard and Yates' own teammate Tadej Pogacar. “I tried to ride my pace and although Jonas got further and further away, I got the best out of it. The team also rode well, so I can't complain."
With Vingegaard looking in supreme form ahead of the upcoming Tour de France, Yates and the rest of the general classification riders at the Critérium du Dauphiné's chances of taking a stage win on the final day of the race tomorrow look unlikely.
"That is possible, but you saw how Jumbo-Visma drove today, that was very good. They'll do the same tomorrow, I suspect," Yates concludes.

- 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
