"With the killer pace on the climb it was extremely difficult to move up" - Caleb Ewan disappointed after failing to secure Milano-Sanremo win
Cycling
Eventually coming home in 16th place was not the Milano-Sanremo that Caleb Ewan had been hoping for. Nevertheless he realises the climbing quality of the front group was just too strong.
“Obviously I am disappointed with this result. Like every year, I make Milan-Sanremo a big goal. I was already close to it twice and today I also had the good legs," said Ewan. My teammates piloted me well towards the Cipressa and I could also count on Jasper De Buyst and Maxim Van Gils in the sinking."
"Maybe I turned a little too far up the Poggio to really make an impact on the race," he explains. "With the killer pace on the climb it was extremely difficult to move up and I, like some other sprinters in the group, had to hope that it would come back together for a sprint. Unfortunately it didn't."

- 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
