"In the end, I am satisfied" - Tobias Lund Andresen settles for 4th on stage 3 of the Tour of Guangxi

For the third straight day at the 2023 Tour of Guangxi, the stage finished in a bunch sprint and also for the third day running, there was a different winner. Sadly for Team DSM-Firmenich's Tobias Lund Andresen it wasn't him as the Dane had to settle for 4th.
“Because of the tough climbs, everyone was excited for today’s stage. Every time we took on the punchy climb, we were in the front and tried to put on pressure for Oscar," the 21-year-old begins his recap to the official website of Team DSM-Firmenich post-stage. "The penultimate climb was already hard, but the peloton still didn’t split. Ultimately on the last climb, Patrick (Bevin) and Jonas (Hvideberg e.d) did a great job of positioning Oscar (Onley e.d) well in the front and he could attack. I fought as hard as I could to come over the top but was dropped in a group with Kooij. Luckily, I had Jonas with me and with five kilometres to go we were back in the reduced peloton."
Having managed to successfully get back to the front of the race, in the sprint finish Andresen held his own but couldn't manage to take victory ahead of the eventual stage winner, Olav Kooij.
"Oscar and Jonas then helped me to get to the front after which I had to go on my own," he concludes. "There was a crash in the deep finale, as a result of which I lost a bit of momentum, but in the end, I am satisfied with the fourth place after being dropped on the climb. There are still several chances for the team with Oscar tomorrow on the mountaintop finish and we finish our campaign in China with two sprint stages.”

- 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
