Having come into Liège-Bastogne-Liège in good form after taking the overall victory at the Giro d’Abruzzo the week before, Alexey Lutsenko put in a strong performance at La Doyenne, as he finished in eighth place, his best result in a Monument of his career.
Speaking to his team after the race, Lutsenko praised the work of his fellow Astana Qazaqstan riders, as he said “my teammates were incredible today. Simone Velasco and Christian Scaroni helped me to keep my position and moved me in front before La Redoute, the main climb where, actually, the race started. In the beginning it was Igor Chzhan, who did a great job for me, an invisible job on TV, but an important one for the team”.

Well, a top-10 is a good result, but of course a podium would have been the icing on the cake”.

- 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.
