Having had an enforced break after riding much of the Classics season with a fractured fibula, Julian Alaphilippe's return to racing has been confirmed for the 2024 Tour de Romandie.
“We go to the Tour de Romandie with a strong team, confident and motivated to do a solid race," previews Soudal - Quick-Step sports director Dries Devenyns to the team's official website. "Our roster comprises a couple of time trial specialists, so we hope for some good results on those stages. We also have Ilan van Wilder, who will be our GC leader. He can rely on the likes of Julian Alaphilippe and Fausto Masnada for the hard stages, and hopefully, be in the mix for a strong overall result.”
Whilst van Wilder starts as the main general classification threat, for Alaphilippe it is a timely return to racing ahead of the former two-time world champion making his Giro d'Italia debut next month. With Kasper Asgreen, Mattia Cattaneo, Josef Cerny and Pepijn Reinderink completing the team, it's a strong lineup for Soudal - Quick-Step in Switzerland.

santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Carbon Monoxide kills you by asphyxiation. It cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain by bonding with hemoglobin better than oxygen. But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
