The 2024 Volta a Catalunya is a wrap. For Team Visma | Lease a Bike, it won't be an edition the team will remember fondly. The formation was far from competitive for stages and failed to leave a mark in the overall standings too. For the Dutch team it's an opportunity to analyse what went wrong before they move on to next objectives.
"This race didn't quite go the way we envisioned it beforehand," sports director Marc Reef said in press release after the race. "However, the fighting spirit of the guys is to be commended. When things just don't fall into place, it is important to show character. And we have seen that this week. You don't always get what you strive for. That's just how it works. Now it is important for the men who were here at the start to recover well and focus on the upcoming goals, because they will follow soon."

- 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
