Ethan Hayter: "I hope to win more stages and take the general classification with the team"

Ethan Hayter has not had the best start to his season, however he has racked up with first pro win at World Tour level today at the Tour de Romandie as he was the fastest in the short technical prologue.
After the finish, the INEOS Grenadiers rider shared his emotions regarding the performance: “Very nice to win here. I had some setbacks earlier this year and then took a break from racing. I trained hard and to come back like this is very nice.”
The British time-trial champion set off late in the day, however it was apparent that he was targeting a win as he soared off the starting ramp. The explosiveness needed for such a course suited him well, and he ended up holding off the time of the former World champion Rohan Dennis at the finish to win for the second time this year.
"The course suited me well. I thought, I'll give it a crack and it turned out well. The next few days are also good for me. I hope to win more stages and take the general classification with the team," he added.
With INEOS eyeing the overall classification, they can also be happy with Geraint Thomas who finished fourth and put himself in advantage in the GC fight against his rivals. “G has done a good time trial and things are looking good for the rest of the week. We have several options, so I'm curious how it will turn out," Hayter concluded.

- 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.
