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.

- Gotta? He doesn't come across very well. Great cyclist in his day but not exactly an interesting person or doer of great things since. He just bleats on about his self-esteem. Perfect for the woke age.Renz02-12-2024

- well, the “body of a champion” is the one that produces the best watts/kg. jonas’ ‘frail’ body weighs 6 - 8 kilos less than tadej. this doesn’t HURT his chances of winning. also, if he really is frail, i don’t know how in hell he came back from broken ribs and a punctured lung that fast and finish second in the Tour — fighting until the bitter end as phil points out. most NFL, NBA and MLB players seem considerably more frail compared to jonas.OCexile02-12-2024

- Thanks, we’re trying, it’s harder for the Mrs, I’ve been through more than my fair share of injustices in life so can keep a straight head when it matters. The problem is that journalists are too expensive for anything but the most serious and valuable stories so these days there is very little comprehensive reporting and texts are left to volunteer wannabees who have little regard for the consequences of publishing incomplete or angled stories. If you’re interested in anything you have to double check everything by doing further research. But, as most people aren’t really that interested and read most material for entertainment or distraction purposes or simply to have something to help promote their preconceived ideas, it has all become the accepted norm and we will never ever turn that back around as a society because we train humans to become more and more lazy and comfortable, including when it comes to brain use and critical thinking. There, that’s my bit said for Sunday ;-)Mistermaumau01-12-2024
