Magnus Cort likely to miss the Milano-Sanremo with fractured thumb
CyclingTuesday, 12 March 2024 at 05:30
Magnus Cort broke his thumb in a fall in Tirreno-Adriatico. The new acquisition of Uno-X Mobility won't be in the action for the time being and can probably forget about a participation at Milano-Sanremo.
Cort crashed on Saturday in the penultimate stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, which arrived on the flanks of Monte Petrano. The 31-year-old all-rounder suffered a fracture in his thumb and had to throw in the towel early. "We wish Magnus a quick and complete recovery," Uno-X Mobility said via X.
The 31-year-old rider with the striking mustache has been an consistent presence in the Italian classic in recent years. In 2018 he already finished eighth in La Primavera, the year before he finished eleventh.
Cort is still looking for his first win of the season and for his new Norwegian team. He already rode to places of honor at the Étolie de Bessèges and the Volta ao Algarve. He was also 27th in Strade Bianche more than a week ago.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
