Cycling
The schedule of 32-year-old Slovenian Jan Tratnik for the early part of 2023 has been revelead, with the Bahrain Victorious rider kicking off the campaign at Omloop het Nieuwsblad and climaxing at the Giro d'Italia.
After Omloop het Nieuwsblad on February 25th, Tratnik will be at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne the following day on February 26th. Following these two races, the experienced Slovenian will travel to Italy and ride Strade Bianche on March 4th.
Staying in Italy, Tratnik will be riding Milano-Sanremo and will be hoping to go even better than his ninth-placed finish in 2022. His final race before the first Grand Tour of the season will be the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. The fact Tratnik is set to race in Catalunya could also give an insight into Primoz Roglic's plans pre the Giro d'Italia.
Tratnik's Slovenian compatriot has been announced as leader of Jumbo-Visma's quest to claim the pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia with Tratnik, a stage winner himself at the 2020 Giro set to ride in support of Roglic at the race.

- 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
