Wout van Aert won the 104th edition of the Coppa Bernocchi on Monday and was able to thank his Jumbo-Visma teammates afterwards. The Dutch formation took control of the race early on and was also in charge in the final, after which the leader managed to sprint to victory.
Van Aert was part of an elite group of nine riders in the final, including his teammates Jan Tratnik and Tiesj Benoot. The Slovenian managed to thin out the peloton on the last climb to become the decisive leading group, while Benoot took the lead-out in the final.
Soudal Quick-Step also had three riders in the first group, but Julian Alaphilippe, Andrea Bagioli and Fausto Masnada could not put up a fight against the yellow-black. Alaphilippe tried with a surprise attack in the final. "But that was mainly so that I wouldn't have any regrets afterwards. They were still there with three riders, which made riding away very difficult. I did try," he responded afterwards to Cycling Pro Net.
Bagioli, who finished third, had to bow down before the strongest team. "Jumbo-Visma made the race tough and controlled Julian's attack in the final. I then tried to follow Van Aert in the sprint and get over him, but that was virtually impossible. I don't regret anything because I gave it my all."

- 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
