The tour of Slovakia came to an end after five days of fierce racing. The final stage was won by Jasper Haest after a long day in the breakaway. Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl rider Josef Cerny took the overall victory after riding in the leader’s jersey for three days.
“I’m very happy with the first GC victory of my career,” said Cerny. He continues, “The fact that it came in our last stage race of the season, after what has been an up-and-down year for me, makes it even more special.”
The tour was not scheduled in his calendar but he participated after a certain turn of events. “ I arrived here straight from Canada and didn’t know how things would be, but I had good legs and surprised myself with how I made it over the climbs. We had a strong team, we held the yellow jersey from the first until the last stage and were very motivated the entire week. It was a hard race, but I’m delighted I could bring it home for the Wolfpack and our sponsor Janom”, Josef concluded.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
