Gerben Thijssen: "This victory is simply beautiful. A champion like Alexander Kristoff started the sprint for me, stuff of dreams... We executed the plan to perfection!" #GooiksePijl 🏆

The Gooikse Pijl saw World Tour competition, and the win was taken by Gerben Thijssen who continues his progression through the ranks of the fast men field.
"This victory is simply beautiful. A champion like Alexander Kristoff started the sprint for me, stuff of dreams... We executed the plan to perfection," Thijssen said after the finish. The Belgian classic provided an opportunity for the fast men, and after being led out by Alexander Kristoff, the 24-year old wrapped off an well-organized piece of work from the team to take the win.
This was Thijssen's third win of the season, following successes at the 4 Jours du Dunkerque and the Tour de Pologne. He keeps his good run of form over in Belgium with this win, directly beating compatriot Jasper Philipsen in the final sprint.
Thijssen will now take part in the Omloop van het Houtland Middelkerke this coming week where he'll be a prime contender, whilst the attention is over the other site of the planet in Australia for the World Championships.

- 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
