The Soudal Quick-Step leader, hot after the race and worried about the state of health of his colleagues, tweeted that he didn't understand the "dangerous" downhill finishes when it was perfectly possible to finish uphill.

This is Remco Evenepoel's opinion on the matter, in which he makes it very clear that he is against such long high mountain stages ending with complicated descents: "I hope all the guys who were involved in an accident are ok. I hope that the end of today's stage will serve as a reflection for both the organizers of cycling and ourselves as riders."
"Although a summit finish would have been perfectly possible, it was not a good decision to let us finish on this dangerous descent. As runners, we should also think about the risks we take when descending a mountain. My thoughts and strength are with @ginomaeder and @MagnusSheffield."

- 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
