With the 2024 season almost complete, riders across the peloton are embarking on the final races in their respective teams before transfers ahead of the 2025 campaign. For some notable names at the Tour of Guangxi, things ended in disaster as following a crash in China.
One of those was INEOS Grenadiers' Ecuadorian national champion, Jhonatan Narvaez, who is set to join the all-conquering UAE Team Emirates on a two-year deal. "Sadly following a second crash in consecutive days, Jhonatan Narvaez has been forced to abandon the 2024 Tour of Guangxi. He will be checked over by our medical team following a knock on his knee," writes the INEOS Grenadiers' official social media pages. "A tough way to end his final race for the team, but the last six seasons have been a real pleasure. Thanks Jhony!"
Another rider to end their season and their time at their current team with a crash was Team Visma | Lease a Bike's defending Tour of Guangxi champion, Milan Vader. The 28-year-old Dutchman is set to depart Visma after three seasons, for a new challenge at the ambitious, Swiss continental team, the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.
"Unfortunately, Milan was involved in the early crash and abandoned the race with an injured knee. More info will come later," updated Team Visma | Lease a Bike's official social media pages about the Dutchman's condition. "We wish you a speedy recovery, Milan!"
In the end, victory on stage 3 in China went to Israel - Premier Tech's Ethan Vernon in a thrilling bunch sprint finale ahead of Narvaez's future UAE Team Emirates teammate, Juan Sebastian Molano.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
