"We were all at such a high after the team time trial" - Oscar Onley has disappointing grand tour debut experience
CyclingTuesday, 29 August 2023 at 10:00
Oscar Onley crashed in the Vuelta on Sunday after which he had to leave the round. In the hospital it was found what the Briton was already afraid of: a broken collarbone.
"We were all at such a high after the team time trial. Then a crash is very disappointing, but I'm looking forward to seeing the guys at work in the coming weeks. I think they have shown that the spirit is good and that the legs are good enough to achieve good results. Hopefully I can also compete again soon for short results."
In the press release, team doctor Camiel Aldershof adds: "In addition to breaking his collarbone, Oscar also has several small abrasions on his body. He will now go home to make a full recovery. Only then will we plan his return."
For Team dsm-firmenich, the Vuelta has been a grand tour of extremes so far. After winning the team time trial, the Dutch WorldTeam lost Onley and the red jersey on Sunday. Lorenzo Milesi crashed and saw Andrea Piccolo take over the leader's jersey.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogaฤar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabalโs departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
