Hugh Carthy won’t be able to start today’s stage of the Giro d’Italia. He has been struggling with stomach issues for a few days so he’ll return home to rest and recover. Great effort, Hugh.
EF Education-EasyPost have had a positive performance at the Giro d'Italia, taking stage wins with Ben Healy and Magnus Cort Nielsen, however their GC hope Hugh Carthy is heading home after suffering from stomach issues.
The Briton will not start stage 19, with the finale in Rome almost in sight. After finishing on the podium of the Tour of the Alps and having a consistent spring Carthy entered the Giro with high hopes, but they weren't materializing into a strong result.
Poor performances in the time-trials and conservative racing in the mountains saw Carthy never able to break into the Top10, despite having been the fastest rider up the climb to Crans-Montana on stage 13. He hoped to make the difference on the uphill but it was not enough to be in the battle for the top spots, yesterday he struggled on the final kilometers and fell from 11th to 14th in the overall classification.

- 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
