"We can be proud of ourselves" - Alpecin-Deceuninck continue winning run with one-three at Volta NXT Classic

Although star duo Jasper Philipsen and Mathieu van der Poel were absent from the Alpecin-Deceuninck lineup at the Volta NXT Classic, Timo Kielich and Henri Uhlig stepped up and continued the team's winning run this year.
Coming into the finale, Kielich was alongside Pascal Eenkhoorn as the duo fought out for the victory in a two-up sprint for the line. "At that moment I thought: now I just have to jump," Kielich reflected in his post-race interview. "Behind me, in that situation, there were two more teammates to stop things, but it is also true that the chance in a group of two is greater than in a group of eight riders."
With Henri Uhlig winning the sprint for third from the bunch behind, two Alpecin-Deceuninck riders were ensured on the day's final podium. "Our secret? I don't know," Kielich laughs. "But the course is really suitable for racing. That is also what we stand for as a team, to participate in racing and ride offensively."
"We can be proud of ourselves," he concludes. 'We had the race under control the entire time and always had someone in the groups. At the end we were still with three riders out of eight, so as a team we simply rode a very good race."

- 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
