Great news from Intermarché - Wanty: Taco van der Hoorn will return to racing on Thursday after sixteen months of absence. Thursday's Tour of Leuven will be a special milestone in Dutchman's return to the professional peloton.
Van der Hoorn suffered a severe concussion in a fall at the 2023 Tour of Flanders and had to deal with the consequences for a long time, but will finally be able to race again in the Tour of Leuven. "Hello people, I have very good news: I'm back," he cheers on his team's socials,
Taco van der Hoorn already made an appearance on Tuesday's kermesse Heusden Koers, where he arrived 16th in a competition where several pros such as Gianluca Pollefliet and Dries De Bondt (both Decathlon AG2R) or Van der Hoorn's Intermarché teammate Laurenz Rex made an appearnace. The victory after 170 kilometers of full gas racing went to ex-pro Elias Van Breussegem.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
