Blanka Kata Vas rode hard in the European Cyclocross Championships, but she could only secure bronze in the end.
Vas is satisfied with her effort and gladly accepts bronze." This feels really good. It was a super tough and technical cross. It was mentally and physically very tough, though. I like the descents and the technical sections, but the strips that ran uphill were really tough," she told WielerFlits.
She continues, "I didn't feel really good uphill and didn't have my best day. Before the race, however, during reconnaissance, I also felt bad during the technical passages, but fortunately, in the race, it just went well.”
At one point, Vas was among the leading riders and without van Empel in the group, she was dreaming of the jersey but Van Empel didn’t let her dream come true. "I then thought very briefly about the victory, but Fem was very strong. When she broke down, I thought: this is my chance. She only came back up quickly. She is really racing at a different level at the moment," Vas concluded.

- 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.
