Thymen Arensman returns to racing at Vuelta a Burgos with eyes set on the last Grand tour of 2024
CyclingFriday, 02 August 2024 at 07:00
Thymen Arensman will be riding for the first time since the Giro d'Italia. The 24-year-old Dutchman has been selected by INEOS Grenadiers for the Vuelta a Burgos, which starts next Monday.
Arensman already completed 40 race days this season at the end of May and so it makes sense that INEOS allowed the Dutch climber to sit back a bit and recover for the rest of the season. Not everyone is Slovenian to feel fresh after such workload.
The Dutchman (somewhat) successfully defended last year's sixth place at the Corsa Rosa after a rather disappointing start to the race which saw him lose a lot of time in the opening weekend. During the Italian race, Arensman is reported to have gain staggering five kilos.
After INEOS Grenadiers signed his talent to a new contract until the end of 2027, the focus turned to training. The start in Burgos should serve as a preparation for the Vuelta a Espana. If he is indeed selected, it will be the third season in a row that Arensman will ride the Giro and the Vuelta. It would also be his eighth Grand Tour in just five years as a professional.

- Remco is not the natural climber that riders like Tadej or Jonas are, no matter how much he trains and prepares for it. Yes, you can TT your way up moderately steep hills, but when the gradient gets super steep, he just can't keep up.

- “I was portrayed as the devil" Bruyneel was really a talented team manager. His minor flaws: "coordinated, well-funded, and sophisticated doping regime" "hand-in-hand in implementing the team-wide doping programme" "was involved in trafficking and administering prohibited substances and methods, including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, human growth hormone, and cortisone. Teammates testified that nothing significant happened without Bruyneel's knowledge and approval." "fostered an environment where doping was considered a "fact of life" and necessary for success, effectively making it a condition of survival on the team. He also participated in or assisted with the cover-up of positive tests and doping violations." Those quotes show Bruyneel's true talent.Cyclingnut18-02-2026

leedorney18-02-2026 - Completly agree, Jan was in front of van gils, following Pidcock wheel, it was Van gils who tried to force his way through Jan and the barriers. Are they blaming Jan because he belongs to the richest team that win a lot?
