At the third stage of Vuelta a Andalucía, Astana Qazaqstan rider Samuele Battistella cemented his place among the top riders with a bronze medal, finishing 15 seconds behind winner Tim Wellens and claiming his second podium of the season.
“Today was almost flat stage and the plan of the team was to go to the breakaway and I managed to join it. I spent all the race to try to do my best at the final climb,” he said after the race.
He further added, “I attacked at 3 km to go to anticipate the final kilometers, but the chasers catch me at the bottom of the last climb, so I went full gas till the finish line.”
It is worth noting that his condition was less than optimal, as he was still in the process of recuperation from his previous week's illness. “I think it is good result, even because I was sick last week, I had a flu and I didn’t know my condition until the end. So, I’m really happy about today’s performance and happy to bring another podium to the team,” concluded Battistella. He currently holds 97th position in GC. 32 minutes overall leader Tadej Pogacar.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
