Mikel Landa focusing on saving Volta a Catalunya podium: "Pogacar is very strong"
CyclingSaturday, 23 March 2024 at 15:30
Mikel Landa has thus far ridden a brilliant Volta a Catalunya and most likely a place in the podium is the best possible outcome. Against a strong Tadej Pogacar, the Soudal - Quick-Step will try to take advantage of weaknesses but prioritize his position.
“I feel very good and we'll see if we can fight for the stage today," Landa told SpazioCiclismo this morning at the start of the stage. "It's difficult, Pogacar is very strong and in one-on-one situations it's complicated to keep up with him, but we'll be there if will show some weakness."

The Basque climber does believe he can fight for the stage win, having been the closest contestant at both the Vallter 2000 and Port Ainé summit finishes. He started stage 6, the queen stage, 2:27 minutes behind the Slovenian, who already captured two victories this week and is certain for the overall win.
Landa began the final decisive day of the race 28 seconds ahead of Aleksandr Vlasov and 54 ahead of fourth place Lenny Martínez. He sees good results as he returns to his best form.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- 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
