"It's hard to push all the power down on the pedals" - Jai Hindley seeing Tour de France podium ambitions fade drastically due to injury

A Tour de France that started so positively for Jai Hindley has sadly seen the Australian fade away drastically over the last week. After losing more than four minutes on Vingegaard on the stage 16 time-trial, Hindley now sits in fifth, 11:15 down.
“Well, it wasn’t the day I had hoped for," laments the BORA - hansgrohe leader to his team's official website after the stage 16 individual time-trial. "I’m still feeling my injury, and it's hard to push all the power down on the pedals. We focused on recovery and therapy yesterday and did less training. I think this was important but on the other hand it was difficult today to find the perfect rhythm."
Due in to part to his injury concerns, Hindley has slipped from being comfortably on the third spot of the podium to now almost two and a half minutes off Adam Yates who currently holds that position.
"To be honest, we can only take it day by from now on, and see how I feel tomorrow," concludes Hindley. "We have to stay positive, I know the shape is there if I can recover from the consequences of the crash.”

- 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
