Eli Iserbyt on his withdrawl from European cyclocross championship - " I was in severe pain, A strain or a twist? I have no idea"
Cyclocross
Eli Iserbyt was one of the favourites for the European cyclocross championship in Namur, but he abandoned the race midway despite a good start.
"At the first slant, I got off balance and had to get off the bike," Iserbyt told Sporza. He continues his explanation, "Because my chain was off, I had to walk for a while. When I jumped back on my bike, I felt something in my left leg. A strain or a twist? I have no idea, but I do know that I was in severe pain. Too bad, because until then, I was feeling really good. My start was fine."
Iserbyt could no longer apply any force with his left leg and this was the moment he decided to abandon the race. "I have to say that since my back problems, I have been struggling with a kind of numbness on my left side. I thought it was better, but it played up again today. I hope it's not something permanent. The problem is no longer with my back itself. Anyway, I don't want to hide behind the fact that I have something chronic somewhere. It's under control, but I think now, with a wrong move, it got irritated again," concluded Iserbyt.

- dude, Lemond never even was in the same race as Armstrong. He throws all these aspersions on other American riders who might usurp his throne as the greatest ever American racer. He doesn't say a single thing about (foreign) dopers who he actually raced against. Biggest douchebag move ever. I used to revere that guy, now I despise him. His actions are so weird.fatsupermodel02-11-2026
- This is just stupid, You do what you are good at not what you are weak at. He has no results to speak of when he participated. Even Froome, Conatdor had very little. With Pogi there he wont win none of the classics. he is already 30+ with a few years left at the top. It takes years to get good at classics. Is that really worth the effort???abstractengineer02-11-2026

- 'The Slovenian has collected four Tour de France titles' ... '[Kieran Wood's] ... reporting spans the full racing calendar, from one-day classics to stage races, with a focus on accurate, real-time coverage and clear contextual analysis'. i would say that is pretty inaccurate accurate coverage, kieran wood ... too bad that AI's knowledge often lags several months behind ... but proof reading is certainly part of accurate coverage, isn't it? but fortunately does Kieran Wood place 'strong emphasis on careful sourcing, editorial accuracy, and updating articles as new, verified information becomes available.' i would say the fifth tdf title is pretty new (and even verified) information, so feel free to update this article.Ketterechts01-11-2026

🗨️ 🇧🇪 Eli Iserbyt: "On the first off camber I fell and felt something in my leg. I was in a lot of pain. My chain fell off and I had to run a bit. Until then I had a good feeling. I couldn't put power on my left leg, it was strange." 1/2 (Sporza)
