"I will race with more confidence from now on" - Evita Muzic comes of age with stunning La Vuelta Femenina stage win

In one of the biggest wins of her career, FDJ -Suez's 24-year-old French climbing talent Evita Muzic came of age to overcome the mighty Demi Vollering on the brutal summit finish of stage 6 at La Vuelta Femenina.
“When I saw on the final climb that I was the only one who could still follow, I really tried to focus. In the end I was just able to get past her," a beaming Muzic reflected in her post-stage interview afterwards. "I am very proud that we succeeded. It's also great that it worked today, because my teammates really worked hard today. It's also great for me, because I've finished fourth many times. I really wanted to win a big race and now I finally did it.”
With the win, Muzic gained some considerable time on all her rivals except Vollering. As such, the Frenchwoman launches into the top-6 of the general classification, 2:42 down on the Red Jersey of the Team SD Worx - Protime leader but just 1:28 of the podium.
“I'm often too nice in the peloton,” Muzic concludes. “I give up my position too easily, so I often start too far back on the climbs. I think I will race with more confidence from now on. What do I still hope to achieve here? I want to move up in the general classification and why not win another stage?”

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
