In the CX Dublin World Cup, Wout van Aert emerged victorious. He created a considerable gap just before the final lap and crossed the finish line to celebrate his first victory.
“This is pure cyclocross,” Van Aert said in the post-race interview. He continues, “It’s been a pleasure to meet the Irish fans, and it was a really exciting course that changed throughout the day. There was a huge crowd, and so I’m really proud to be here. Now I can say I’ve never lost a bike race in Ireland.”
It wasn't the best start for him, as he crashed just before the second lap began. It took him until the third lap to catch up with the front group. "It was a really hard race for me, especially mentally. I had to fight, really fight my way into the race. In the start, I was missing a little bit and was always a bit too far in the position. At the time I began to feel better, I had this mechanical. It was a long race, but in the end, the course was so tough I could still make a difference,” concluded the Dutchman.

- 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

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.
