"Isn’t a crazy result but it’s also not bad" - Warren Barguil takes 6th at Muscat Classic on Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL return

Opening his 2024 season at the Muscat Classic in Oman, Warren Barguil put in a solid performance, just missing out on the podium in 6th position.
“It’s my first race of the year and it’s nice to be back with the team," the Frenchman reflects in his post-race interview with the official website of Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL, having made his return to the team he previously starred for between 2012 and 2017, taking notable victories such as two Tour de France stage wins, the King of the Mountains jersey and two stages of the Vuelta a Espana.
"At the start of the day, we thought Tobias Lund Andresen could be an option at the finish but it went too hard on the climbs in the end," recaps the 32-year-old. "Then with Frank van den Broek and I we tried to follow the attacks. Frank did a really good job to follow a lot of the moves. On the last climb I then went full to follow in the bunch."
In the finale though, a late attack from UAE Team Emirates' Finn Fisher-Black saw the Kiwi take the win, despite the best effort of Barguil. "I tried to do the sprint from the front in the wheel of Coquard. In the end sixth place isn’t a crazy result but it’s also not bad, and it’s good to start racing again." he concludes his assessment.

- 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
