So far, it wasn't a season to remember for Maximilian Schachmann. The BORA - hansgrohe riderhas been struggling with health for over a year now. His 2021 form is till nowhere to be found, but 14th place against a strong field gives the 29-year old German a lot of motivation for days (and weeks) to come.
"This was my first time trial this year and it was good to be back in the race. I had a lot of downtime in the spring because of my health and it was tough. My performance today wasn't necessarily outstanding but solid and I'm pretty happy with that. It's a good return to stage racing," says Max Schachmann.
"We expected a headwind in the first part of the time trial, and a tailwind in the second part. However, it ended up being the opposite at the end of the day. So our pacing strategy changed for Max and Cian," adds coach John Wakefield.

- 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.
