The World Championships for Women concluded with Annemiek van Vleuten’s victory. Liane Lippert crossed the line in fourth place. This was her second time finishing fourth, earlier she also missed the podium by one position in World Championships Mixed Relay.
"We didn't work together well enough in the leading group. That was very frustrating and annoying,” said Lippert. She was in a leading position at Mount Pleasant, riding ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini, but she couldn’t enjoy it for much longer. "That was actually a very nice situation. Unfortunately, we didn't go 100%," Lippert said.
She continues, "I went full out every time on the climb. It was very annoying and frustrating that we didn't work well together because I felt like I had a really good chance for a medal. I felt very strong, and I even started dreaming of the rainbow jersey."
Lippert already accepted defeat from Annemiek Van Vleuten, but she still had the spirit to fight for silver. "I started my sprint very early. In the end I was at my limit and exploded. I wanted, after Van Vleuten jumped away, to get on the podium. That that didn't work out is frustrating at this point.”
But she missed the podium with one position and finished fourth. She concluded with, "I did show myself well at the World Cup. I can draw confidence from it for the last races of the year.”

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024

- It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
