At Trofeo Alfredo Binda, Shirin van Anrooij rode to an impressive victory, attacking 20 kilometres before the finish and holding off the competition to take the win.
This is her first win of the season on the road. "I don't believe it. It is my first victory for the team. It has always been one of my favourite races,” Van Anrooij told Lndeleiderstrui after the race.
With nearly 20 kilometres remaining, she attacked on the small climb and developed a small lead which she managed to increase to over 30 seconds in the final stretch. Although she thought the peloton would catch up with her at the end, she was pleasantly surprised to take the victory.
“I never expected to stay away. I thought they would come back and that Balsamo would then win the sprint. Somehow I managed to win this race,” concluded the Dutch rider.

- 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
