Txomin Juaristi on his deer encounter at Vuelta: "It appeared out of nowhere and I took the full blow. I thought I was going crazy, and then I saw another one on top of the car"

Yesterday we lived a surreal episode at the Vuelta a Espana with a pack of deer deciding to greet the cyclists at the Vuelta up close.
Sadly, Txomin Juaristi and Giulio Ciccone weren't so happy about this deer meeting as they prefered to bow to the relatives of Santa Claus helper on the ground. In addition, the deer 'bought' couple of Euskaltel Euskadi bikes as they rolled through their spare bikes on top of the team car.
After the stage, Juaristi, still in pain from the blow he received, spoke with Cadena Ser colleague Borja Cuadrado, explaining what happened:
"I was racing, at kilometer 144 or so and out of nowhere a deer appeared and I took the full blow and I fell. Then when I was with the medical car more deer jumped out, they came at us from the left, I've already gone crazy. I saw a deer on top of the car, between the bikes and they broke two of the car's bikes, but well, I got a hard blow but for the moment I'm fine."
It was a terrible thing to happen, although these are things that can happen when entering natural parks. The important thing is that the animals were able to return to the forest without problems and that none of the cyclists were seriously injured. We regret the material damage to the Euskaltel bikes.

- 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
