Hungry for racing, Andreas Kron returns to action in Catalunya: "I enjoyed seeing the team taking good results, I want to be part of that"
Cycling
While his Lotto Dstny teammates have been flying since the start of this season, Andreas Kron was sidelined with a concussion until now. However the 25-year-old is already in racing shape as he prepares to take off at Volta a Catalunya on Monday alongside Maxim Van Gils.
"After the training accident which caused a concussion, I slowly restarted training at home. I did some endurance trainings and slowly started building up again the intensity. Afterwards I went on altitude camp with the team in Andorra, where I spent the past two and a half weeks. I did some race related efforts and the past week I felt better and better."
"I'm just really looking forward now to racing. The preparation on altitude went well, it's always better to have a race in the legs but that wasn't possible, so I just hope to come better out of Catalunya towards the Ardennes classics. Maybe it can even be an advantage for the Ardennes I didn't race that much yet, but we will see."
"I'm always motivated to go for a nice result. But most of all, I'm super happy to find the team again, the riders and staff and especially a team that is going strong. It also gives me trust and motivation. I enjoyed seeing the team taking good results, it pushes me to wanting to be part of that. Maxim will also be in Catalunya, we are a bit the same type of rider. Hopefully as a team we can go for a stage win there, with him or with someone else."

- Remember, Del Toro struggled in this Tour. He is great, no doubt about that, but comparing him to a four time gt winner is absurd at this point. He has the potential. We'll have to see how he develops.awp13-11-2026
- what did Jonas gift and to whom? just curious, haven’t heard about this.mij13-11-2026
- You don't gift grand tours as it has come to light that Jonas has come to regret doing such.
Front24213-11-2026 - Exactly you said it urslf - he outclimbed del toro by 19 sec. 19SEC and you say hes alot better than del toro still lol? And can also do the same where del toro did that to jonas even and del toro dauphine numbers better than jonas all year so why this hard whats the issue its super easy stuff - del toro wasnt that before. Then factor in both their trajectory the last years and the answer is self explonatory like i said. Nothing against jonas like many do but the typing is no the wall and so stupidly easy as its so self explanatory now. Have a good daymiguel13-11-2026

- A very true statement made by Johan Bruyneel: "We don’t know for sure about Jonas, because he dropped out of the Tour de France, but he would never have come close to Pogacar. Maybe he would have finished second. He won the Giro in dominant fashion and the Vuelta the year before, but Visma wants to win the Tour." That's exactly what I've been saying the last six months. If Pogi races with Jonas, the most he can be is second... UNLESS... Pogi crashes out or makes a BIG mistake, which is not likely to happen. Either Bruyneel thinks the way I do or he reads my posts. Ad acta!!!PogiSloFans13-11-2026
