"I was just not strong enough" - Eli Iserbyt reacts to defeat at cyclocross World Cup Dublin

Eli Iserbyt lost out to his teammate at the second round of
the cyclocross world cup season, at the World Cup Dublin race. Although Iserbyt
was one of the favourites for victory, he was ultimately beaten to victory by
Michael Vanthourenhout in the Irish capital
In a race where new European champion Thibau Nys suffered a
fall, Michael Vanthourenhout had to change his shoe after his original shoe
broke early on. Vanthourenhout was very impressive in coming back through the
field to take the win, and Iserbyt was still content with his performance.
On Instagram, Iserbyt wrote, “Gave everything the last 2
laps but I was just not strong enough. Happy for the 2/2 in the Worldcup for
the team, congrats Michael Vanthourenhout.”
Iserbyt lost the overall world cup lead as a result to his
teammate, who has 65 points to Iserbyt’s 62. But still, it has been a very positive
start to the World Cup season for Iserbyt, who will be happy to have put the
controversy of the start of his cross season to bed.

- I'm wondering if he's quitting because Visma wouldn't make him their #1 at this year's Giro, which he believed suited him well. As defending champ he deserved his team's backing. After all, he's done a lot for Vingo.velodan07-01-2026

- Talented, elegant rider. Enjoy your life, Simon! all the best.
maria2024202407-01-2026 - Always came across as a great human being, his interviews typically had him with this private smile, friendly but also amused at the whole situation, and his ability as a rider let us see him pretty often in those interviews. Two grand tours, a spectacular letdown in a third, and solid riding throughout his career. I've enjoyed watching him throughout his career, and wish him the best with what comes next. Also, what, only one Yates in the peloton? How can that be?!RidesHills07-01-2026
- The oldest racket on Earth (in buisness) is convincing you that your cycling life( fill in a thousand other things) will approach pro level if you you buy their 15 pound titanium carbon rocket ship.The amount of fat ass 50 and 60 somethings riding these things is exactly the same as the old fart in a Ferrari trying to stave off father time with wads of cash.Good for Gaimon speaking about this weenie weight psychosis deliberately foistered on the consumer. Good for State as well.
Brucegel07-01-2026 - Congratulations to Simon on a fantastic career, and respect to him for choosing this time to retire.
