"I arrived here as a young sprinter with little confidence, now my aim is to win Giro d'Italia stage" - Gerben Thijssen on his growth with Intermarché - Wanty

2023 was the best season of Gerben Thijssen's career so far. During the last two years with Intermarché - Wanty the young Belgian developed into one of the peloton's more feared sprinters. After four smaller victories last year, Thijssen is ready to take his game to the next level and bring home a Grand Tour stage win in 2024.
"Thanks to Intermarché - Wanty, I have grown a lot as a rider. I arrived here in 2022 as a young sprinter with little confidence, without experience of how to tackle a final. I learned everything step by step, especially with my lead out Boy van Poppel," he appreciates his teammate in press release.
"For 2024, we changed several things to let me take another step forward. The most important change is my collaboration with Adrien Petit, who will be my new lead out," he reveals. "After several weeks together, we have strengthened our bond. I’m looking forward to racing with him, I think we can achieve great things with our strong core."
"I also get the chance to benefit from the advice of Adriaan Helmantel, my new trainer. For the rest, we will continue to analyse every sprint with Pieter Vanspeybrouck. My programme will include a bunch of higher-level races, which is proof that the team believes in me. Among other things, I will ride the Giro d’Italia, with the aim of winning for the first time in a Grand Tour."

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
