Fred Wright: "It's hard for me, I want that win so badly. I thought I had the best sprint"

Although Fred Wright has consistently provided his best efforts, the rider has been down on luck. The seventh stage of Vuelta a Espana came within one inch of victory for him, but his breakaway companion Jesus Herrada beat him.
Also in the fifth stage, he narrowly missed the victory and finished third, "I'm sure that victory will come," he said. He continues, "It's hard for me, I want that win so badly. I thought I had the best sprint, and I saw the line. I thought it was best to just go for it."
Wright was among the first few riders who launched an early attack at the start. "People say I shouldn't start the sprint from the front, but that's easier said than done. It's not easy to keep your cool in those situations," said Wright.
He prefers to look at the positive side of the situation and consider it a learning experience despite losing the stage. "Of course, I am disappointed now. I have to try to stay positive. I still feel good and am ready for more breakaways, I just have to learn how to handle a sprint like that, it's a learning process. But I'm sure that victory will come,” Wright concluded. His current position in the GC is 51st, 21 minutes and 21 seconds behind the overall leader Remco Evenepoel.

- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
