"Can be satisfied with the result and how the shape is" - Max Poole limits losses in UAE Tour time-trial to remain in GC contention

Not necessarily renowned for his time-trialing abilities, Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL's Max Poole did well to limit his losses and keep himself in general classification contention at the 2024 UAE Tour.
“It was a solid effort in the end," reflected the 20-year-old Brit in a post-stage conversation with his team's official website. "With the layout of the course meaning you were almost always on the pedals, and with the conditions today you really had to be on it from the start."

Finishing 14th on the stage, just 27 seconds down on the eventual winner of the day, UAE Team Emirates' Brandon McNulty, Poole remains firmly in general classification contention heading into Wednesday's first summit finish of the race.
"I just tried my best to keep the focus on the position and holding a good power throughout the course," Poole concludes. "We can be satisfied with the result and how the shape is, and hope to be able to carry that into the rest of the week.”

- 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
