Marc Soler failed to conquer the twelfth stage of the Vuelta a Espana. The UAE Emirates rider secured bronze and finished 24 seconds behind stage winner Richard Carapaz.
While he was disappointed that he could not take the stage, he also conceded that Carapaz's performance was much better than his own. "I am disappointed that I could not win again, but Carapaz was simply too strong. But I am happy with my current form", said Soler.
However, he does not let one disappointment deter him from reaching his goals, he is an optimist who looks forward to racing in the next stage and helping his team in GC. "Our team is strong, and with João Almeida and Juan Ayuso, we have two riders who are still good in the general classification, so we are looking forward to the rest of this Vuelta", Soler concluded. He currently holds 33rd position in GC, 34 minutes and 32 seconds behind overall leader Remco Evenepoel.

- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
