Hindley just in time for World Championships “I was a bit nervous, I actually cancelled my original flight, and I had to book flights at a later date"

Jai Hindley, one of the main riders for the Australian cycling team, has finally recovered from Covid and is now ready to represent Australia at the World Championship. He tested positive for the virus a day after finishing 10th overall at the Vuelta a España.
“I feel pretty good, back to normal more or less, so hopefully it’s all good,” Hindley said at a press conference this week. He continued,“I was a bit worried because I got COVID straight after the Vuelta, so I didn’t know if this was going to be possible. Luckily, I had pretty light symptoms, and I was testing negative pretty soon after. Fortunately, I could come.”
Hindley is crucial for supporting Matthews. “I was delayed by about four days, I think. I was just in touch with the Aussie team as soon as I found out that I had a positive test. We were just playing it cautiously, and they were still pretty optimistic that I would be able to race. I just kept in touch with them, and as soon as I tested negative, then, I rebooked a flight.”
While it was a tense situation for the Australian rider everything turned out to be well in the end. “I was a bit nervous, I actually cancelled my original flight, and I had to book flights at a later date so that I could fly when I was negative. I was sweating there for a little bit, but I’m happy to be here that’s for sure,” concluded Hindley.

- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
- If you hold onto then, you blowup in a minute and then you finish 5 minutes down like Ben O'Connorabstractengineer21-12-2024
- Based on what argument?Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Lot of contradictory information floating around world cup contenders, someone should do some tidying up.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
