The new generation 🤩💫 4⃣0⃣ @tompidcock 4⃣1⃣ @LucasPlapp In the last few days Pidders and Plappy added their names to the growing list of stage race leaders for this team.
Luke Plapp has already taken wins this season, and he's looking for more at the UAE Tour. After showing great form on the opening day, the Australian champion is the new race leader following the team time-trial.
“Although at first I did not realize that I am now the new leader. It was very close," Plapp said in a post-race interview. "We are now well prepared for the coming days. Tomorrow there will be an uphill finish and then anything can happen. I hope we get a few sprint rides followed by a showdown at Jebel Hafeet."

“As far as I am concerned, this is the most beautiful discipline in cycling. I don't think people realize how beautiful and exciting it can be;" he recalls his effort, in which he was a big piece of the INEOS train taking into consideration his time-trialing abilities.
INEOS rode to third on the day, with the gaps between the first teams on the day being quite small. Due to the bonification seconds he brought in on the opening day he tied with Remco Evenepoel in the overall classification, but has ridden into the lead of the race.
He also commented on his teammate Joshua Tarling, who was brought in from the junior ranks this winter: “Joshua is the strongest rider in our team. It's such a great guest. It is a privilege to have him on the team. We are talking about a future Filippo Ganna".
The Australian goes into Jebel Jais tied in time with Remco Evenepoel, but will have an important challenge to his overall classification stint - in a climb where last year he broke through as a big talent.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
