Dylan Teuns to skip Vuelta a Espana to prioritize World championships preparation
Cycling
Dylan Teuns has recently made a sudden change of teams, from Bahrain - Victorious into Israel - Premier Tech, and his calendar for the remainder of the season is taking shape as he reveals his lead-up to the World championships.
Initially, Teuns was expected to ride the Vuelta a Espana. However, with the World championships and the Italian Autumn classics as his main goal, he has opted with a less packed calendar. Teuns is set to ride the Tour of Britain in early September as the main racing block ahead of the closing month of the season.
At the World Teuns is expected to have a big role, as the riders will tackle a hilly and explosive circuit in Wollongong. The Belgian, who's won the Flèche Wallone this year, will be an outsider for the race, however with Wout van Aert in the team it's unlikely that the team will prioritize the Israel rider's ambitions.
Teuns is set to make his debut with the team in the upcoming La Polynormande, as the team looks to bring in as many points as possible to stay at World Tour level.

- 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.
