Despite the complications, Skaarseth still tried to train: "I did everything I could do. What prospects do I have? Considering the month of January as post-surgery rehabilitation, I expect to have no more pain by February and to be able to train at full speed between March and April. Then I could return in time for the
Eschborn-Frankfurt 2024, which is scheduled for May 1st. That's a race that I like and maybe there Alexander Kristoff could need a hand to get a good result," he reveals his ambitions when talking to Eurosport Norge.
From his non-privileged point of view, Skaarseth was able to follow the growth of his teammates: "Some came out of the Tour de France very well. Doing a Grand Tour definitely helps you and that would have been the next step in my growth. Now I had to interrupt the plan, but the basic idea remains the same. You often take things for granted, until something happens that puts you in a difficult situation."
