"She has innate potential" - Liane Lippert touted as the next Annemiek van Vleuten by Movistar Team
CyclingSunday, 21 January 2024 at 04:00
Movistar Team's 2024 season in the women's WorldTour will be the first in which it competes without Annemiek Van Vleuten, who ended her legendary professional road career after the last campaign. However, the Spanish team is hopeful that Liane Lippert will assume the leadership role in the major races from this point forward.
At least that's how clear Jorge Sanz, sports director of Movistar, has made it in statements to the colleagues of AS. "For facts and potential that we know she has, she will certainly be (the team leader). We can't put anyone at Annemiek's level, because it wouldn't be smart, but it's true that she will also share the role of leader depending on the type of races with riders like Norsgaard, Sierra, Baril...".
"She is probably one of the best riders in short efforts. She has innate potential, which is key in women's cycling, because very few have the level she can reach. Our goal is to try to maintain that level and that over time, without racing too much, she can also develop and be able to perform in stage races and a little bit longer efforts," he added about Lippert.
Among the 26-year-old German rider's most notable achievements are three German road cycling champion titles, won in 2018, 2022 and 2023, a stage in the 2023 Women's Tour de France and the 2020 Cadel Evans Ocean Road Race, although belonging to Movistar one has to count only the last German Championship and Tour stage, plus another stage in the Tour de Romandie and the Tre Valli Varesine.

- 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
