Soudal - Quick Step cyclist Remi Cavagna claimed victory in the opening stage of Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali after launching a decisive attack at the 42-kilometer mark and holding onto his lead to the end. Mauro Schmid and Rick Pluimers secured second and third place, respectively.
A breakaway group of five riders, Alessandro Fancellu, Lennert Teugels, Marco Murgano, Didier Merchan, and Gabriele Petrelli, managed to distance themselves from the peloton and establish a substantial lead of over 6 minutes. However, the peloton caught the group with 46 kilometres remaining.
Remi Cavagna initiated an attack with 42 kilometres to go, and Lennert Teugels followed suit to build a lead of over a minute. Nonetheless, Teugels was caught by the peloton with 16 kilometres left.
The Frenchman held onto his lead in an exciting chase, with the peloton pushing hard and narrowing the gap. Nevertheless, he defended his position and crossed the finish line to claim the win. Mauro Schmid finished second and Rick Pluimers completed the podium.

- 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
