"I didn't feel good at Bora. That's why I decided to break my contract" - Cian Uijtdebroeks from Team Visma | Lease a Bike presentation
Cycling
With it now official that Cian Uijtdebroeks will ride for Team Visma | Lease a Bike during the 2024 campaign, the Belgian is already looking forward to the future.
"It will not be at the Vuelta but it will be at the Giro - the Giro will be the second Grand Tour of my life and I'm really looking forward to that race to see how it goes there," Uijtdebroeks said at the presentation, outlining his goals and seemingly steadfast in his belief that he will be riding for the team in 2024.
With Team Visma | Lease a Bike and BORA - hansgrohe now having come to an agreement, Uijtdebroeks was coy when asked the reason why he wanted to leave. "I didn't feel good at Bora. That's why I decided to break my contract. I'm not gonna go in detail about that WhatsApp group, we know why we broke our contract. I chose for my own wellbeing."
"We really have big ambitions to win stages and then for myself, I want to try to be good in the GC," he says of the upcoming Giro d'Italia. "There's not a lot of pressure on me - I have a free role and we'll try to see where we are. It's nice that guys like [Tadej] Pogačar are also there to see how they are and how much we still need to improve."

- 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
