“It's crazy to be on the podium" - Felipe Orts continues to break new ground at World Cup Dublin
CyclocrossSunday, 01 December 2024 at 18:00
Felipe Orts continues to break new ground in the 2024 - 2025 cyclocross season. After coming second at the European Championships, the Spaniard has now claimed a World Cup podium for the first time in his career in Dublin.
After being there or thereabouts throughout the race in Ireland on Sunday afternoon, Orts entered the final lap as part of an elite, six-man lead group also containing Michael Vanthourenhout, Eli Iserbyt, Toon Aerts, Pim Ronhaar and Joran Wyseure. With none of them able to create a real advantage, the fight for victory went all the way to a sprint finish, in which, Vanthourenhout prevailed ahead of Aerts, with Orts completing the podium.
“It's crazy to be on the podium in the second World Cup race," Orts reflected with delight in his post-race interview afterwards. "In the last corners I came back and, in the sprint, sprint for the podium. I'm very happy!”

- 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
