I want to say thank you to all the support messages I received over the Last Days. It meant a lot to me and my family. Together with Team we decided to take some time to refocus and work towards @lavuelta 🇪🇸 #alleztotalenergies #TDF2023 #TDF #LaVuelta
Steff Cras shifts his focus towards Spanish grand tour: "My next goal will be La Vuelta"

Steff Cras seemed to be the Belgian with best views to compete for a top ten finish at Tour de France, but a nasty fall in the eighth stage immediately ended his race. Cras had to give up and shift his focus towards La Vuelta.
That message went viral and Cras received a lot of reactions. "I want to thank everyone for the messages I have received in recent days," he says now. "It means a lot to me and my family. Together with my team, I have now decided to take some time to recover and then work towards my next goal: La Vuelta."

Cras had not yet heard from the person in the audience who caused his fall. Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) and Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla) were also involved in the crash, but they were both able to continue on their way.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
