It was a rather uneventful day for Team Visma | Lease a Bike on stage 4 of Tirreno-Adriatico, as the team got through the stage largely unscathed, barring a small crash involving Attila Valter and INEOS Grenadiers rider Magnus Sheffield on a hairpin turn with around 42km to go.
In fact, the most shocking part of the stage from the team’s perspective would probably be that Jonas Vingegaard managed to stay up towards the front in the finale to finish eleventh on the stage, in what was a chaotic finale where the peloton were attempting to chase down the persistent Jonas Abrahamsen.
Speaking to Visma | Lease a Bike after the stage, sports director Grischa Niermann summarised the team’s day, as he said that “we didn't have very much to win today. There was a very good chance it would turn out to be another bunch sprint. Like yesterday, it was cold and wet again. However, the guys coped well with those circumstances. Our main goal was to get Jonas to the finish safely”.

- 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
