As the 2023 Tour of Turkey came to a close, BORA - hansgrohe's Ben Zwiehoff was forced to settle for second in the general classification, having been unable to overturn the deficit to eventual winner Alexey Lutsenko.
"I am very happy with my second place," the 29-year-old German told his team's official website post-race. "We knew that it would be very difficult to get the jersey from Lutsenko. But we tried everything and attacked again and again every day."

Despite not having been able to take over the lead from Lutsenko, Zwiehoff's second overall capped off a successful week for the team. "Overall, it was a super race for us," he concludes. "For good reason, we won the team classification and showed that we are a super strong squad."
"All in all, it was a positive end to the season here in Turkey. The stages were challenging, but the guys rode very well," added sports director Bernie Eisel. "We also attacked again today on the final stage and tried everything. With the stage win and three men in the top 10, we left our mark on this 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.
