“I just spoke to him after the finish and he wasn't very happy" - Conflict between Pim Ronhaar and Wout van Aert in Hulst

Saturday afternoon's UCI World Cup race in Hulst is one that will be remembered for a long time. With seemingly a dramatic incident every minute, you could not take your eyes off the race.
One such incident of controversy came when Wout van Aert crashed early on, taking him out of race-winning contention in the early stages. Although it wasn't quite clear how the crash came about at the time, it seems the Belgian believes Pim Ronhaar was to blame.
“I was in Mathieu's wheel, at a point of the course with many right-angle turns. Wout came to wiggle and I sat in front of him. I had the inside bend, he had the outside bend and there is only one track there. Apparently, I pushed him into the barriers,” recapped Ronhaar in his post-race interview.
“I just spoke to him after the finish and he wasn't very happy. I understand that of course, but I think he would have done the same to me," continues the Baloise - Trek Lions rider. "I will speak to him again in Baal to say sorry. But I certainly didn't mean to push him away from there. I just kept my place and he would have done the same.”

- 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
