"Everything went perfectly" - Jordi Meeus delighted to surprise the favourites and take career-defining victory

Taking the biggest win of his career, Jordi Meeus surprised the favourites to secure the victory on the iconic Parisian cobbles of the Champs-Elysees.
“It is without a doubt the best day of my sports career,” says the BORA - hansgrohe sprinter in his post-stage interview after taking a narrow photo finish win ahead of Jasper Philipsen. “I knew after the previous sprints that more was possible than the results I had achieved. Today everything went perfectly. I am super happy that I was able to finish it.”
“I felt good all day. The beginning was easy, of course, but from the moment it went full throttle, I felt incredibly good. Marco Haller then did a great job positioning, Danny van Poppel was there too. I had Mads Pedersen's wheel and came out of the slipstream. I passed him on the line,” continues Meeus.
“It was my first Tour. It was already a great experience and to win now is indescribable," he concludes. "Whether the green jersey is a goal for next year? That is a completely different story, especially when you see Philipsen's lead. I'm going to enjoy this first."

- 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
