After suffering a knee injury in a crash at last year’s Vuelta a España, Kobe Goossens underwent three surgeries during the winter, with the latest one taking place in February after the issue relapsed. However, he is now returning to competition for the first time in eight months at the Tour de Romandie.
Speaking in an interview with his team ahead of the race, Goossens said “my knee injury is finally behind me, after a first operation in September and two more in February. Due to these physical problems, I missed several weeks of training last winter, but prior to this Tour de Romandie I was able to increase the volume and intensity of my rides during a training camp in Calpe”.
On his previous record at the Swiss stage race, Goossens went on to say “during my first participation in the Tour de Romandie in 2021, I won the mountain jersey thanks to several breakaways in bad weather circumstances. I like this race and that is why I am happy to return into competition here, eight months after my crash in the Vuelta”.
Intermarché-Wanty will be led by recent Itzulia Basque Country stage winner Louis Meintjes at the Tour de Romandie, with support from the likes of Rune Herregodts and Dion Smith, as well as Roel van Sintmaartensdijk, Alexy Faure Prost and Tom Paquot.

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
- Eddy also rode a 23 lb bike whereas Tadej has a 15 lb one. Also new insights into training and selecting races rather than racing 11.5 months a year like Eddy used to do.MrCampy13-11-2024
