Thymen Arensman expects to return before the end of this season: "If the team appoints me, I will indeed race again"
Cycling
Thymen Arensman will still be in action this season. The Dutchman from INEOS Grenadiers is recovering much faster than expected from a heavy crash in the Vuelta a España and is now back training in Andorra.
It is not yet known which races Arensman will ride. This probably concerns a number of Italian autumn races. The Dutchman is on the provisional start list of the Giro dell'Emilia, which will take place next Saturday.
A final choice has not yet been made. In a response, Arensman briefly says: "If the team appoints me, I will indeed race again to end the season on a positive note. We still have to wait and see in the training sessions and then the team will decide."
The 23-year-old Dutchman broke his collarbone and suffered facial injuries in the crash just over three weeks ago, but was able to resume training a week later. He says that he sometimes still has trouble with his teeth.

- “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
