"I am a little disappointed to lose the jersey already" - Lennard Kämna thrives at Tirreno-Adriatico queen stage but overtaken by Primoz Roglic

Lennard Kämna had a very strong time-trial, and on stage 4 of Tirreno-Adriatico he took on the race lead. He's survived the attacks today on the queen stage and didn't lose time on the road, but as Primoz Roglic won further bonus seconds the German was left to second place.
“I am a little disappointed to lose the jersey already. But it was not about today, but more about the small mistake yesterday," Kämna said in a press release issued by BORA - hansgrohe. "I think we rode a very strong race as a team today and I am also happy with my personal performance."
BORA - hansgrohe had a conservative ride in the final ascent to Sarnano-Sassoretto, with Jai Hindley covering moves and helping the pace stay constant in the final kilometers. A shortened climb and a strong headwind helped the German's ambitions to keep the race lead, and he arrived within the GC group in a surprising performance. However, as Primoz Roglic sprinted to victory, Kämna could not return to the podium due to the few bonus seconds that now separate the two.
"The wind influenced the race of course. Before the climb it was super hectic and then it became quite tactical. Attacks only made sense in the tail wind sections and everybody waited until the end. But the last two kilometers have been really tough," Kämna described. He now sits second in the overall classification ahead of the explosive stage to Osimo where the GC may be turned on it's head.

- 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
