Michael Mørkøv considering change of environment: "I'm no longer sure this is the right place for me"
Cycling
As Soudal - Quick-Step's transfer policy is slowly shifting towards their greatest asset, the world champion Remco Evenepoel, Michael Mørkøv feels that he might need a change of environment.
"It obviously seems to me that Soudal - Quick-Step is changing a lot as a team. Over the years it has been a formation in which a lot has been focused on sprints and one-day classics. But with Remco Evenepoel in the squad and the talent he has, it's only natural that you want to build the team around him. So if they want to reduce the importance of bunch sprints in the team economy, I'm no longer sure this is the right place for me," Mørkøv explains in an interview for EkstraBladet.
Mørkøv reveals: "I don't have a contract for next season yet, so the 2023 Tour will be very important for my future. I think I still have a few years of good performance in my legs. I'm negotiating with Patrick Lefevere, but also to some other teams. Which? I won't say it, but I can confirm that Uno-X is a very interesting option."

- 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
