"I think it’s a good milestone for me in my career" - Simon Carr an impressive winner of the Tour de Langkawi
Cycling
EF Education-EasyPost's Simon Carr had a very impressive week at the Tour de Langkawi. After winning stage 5, the British rider has secured himself overall victory a few days later.
"This was a really big team effort and a really big team victory," Carr says to EF Education-EasyPost's official website post-race. "The early break that went today was quite strong with 14 or 15 riders and one rider that was only a couple of minutes down on GC so it took the whole team riding really hard on the front to eventually bring them back, which meant we were able to keep first and second on GC. The whole week has been really great work from everyone. Everyone has been really invested in the same goal of going for the GC. I’m just really happy that it all paid off."
"For me it’s really nice to win the GC having only won stages or one day races before," he concludes. "I think it’s a good milestone for me in my career. I’m just really happy and a bit relieved to finish it off today."

- 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
