Johan Bruyneel: "Media and network criticism had an effect on Jumbo-Visma's tactics"

Johan Bruyneel returned to give his opinion on what happened in the last big mountain stage of the Vuelta a España 2023 that had its finish at the Cruz de Linares. The former sport director of Lance Armstrong spoke on the Youtube podcast The Move and explained that, for him, Jumbo-Visma was carried away by the opinion of the media to adopt a conservative tactic with Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic on stage 18.
Bruyneel has been highly critical in recent days of the Slovenian and Dane's attacks on the American when he was wearing the red jersey and believes that media pressure caused the Dutch team to change its approach to the race: "I think yes, media pressure played a part, don't forget that Primoz Roglic said before the start of the Vuelta that Sepp Kuss could win the Vuelta, and he was right."
"But until this stage 18 he hadn't clearly said that they were going to race for Sepp Kuss to win. That was the end of it. I think the statements had an effect. It's unbelievable that a team that has won the Giro, the Tour, is first, second and third in the Vuelta and has won several stages and, despite that, nobody is happy with them. That's not right. The networks have an impact on sponsors."

- “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
