Damiano Caruso was in the mix for a stage win on stage 18 of the 2023 Vuelta a Espana, eventually finishing a distant second behind Remco Evenepoel. Post-stage, Caruso spoke of his experience trying to ride with Evenepoel in the breakaway.
“It was a tough day. Everyone knew that Remco was the strongest in the leading group. He has shown that too," the Italian of Bahrain - Victorious recaps in his post-stage interview with Eurosport. "Of course he deserves the win. As far as I'm concerned, this second place – behind a champion like him – means a lot. I am satisfied. I couldn't have done more.”

With Evenepoel eventually winning 4:44 ahead of Caruso, the difference in level between the Belgian and the rest of the breakaway was clear for all to see. Caruso admits that even following in the wheel of the Soudal - Quick-Step leader was a struggle at times.
“Following him is like following a scooter," Caruso hilariously quips. "His pace was too high for me, but also for many, many other riders. It's okay."

- “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
