Johan Museeuw narrowly loses in a local Belgian race. Against a horse.

It is a tradition in Sint-Eloois-Winkel: during the village festival Winkel Koerse, a renowned cyclist competes against a local rider. This time, former world champion Johan Museeuw and 16-year-old Norwegian Devolder on his horse Gerona Ginger competed against each other. It was a close call, but the rider still had to lose.
Striking: a year earlier, it was Yves Lampaert's turn, the Soudal Quick-Step rider who currently seems to be on his way to the new merger team. Lampaert was then outsmarting the horse.
The horse race organized in Sint-Elooiswinkel is unique, because it is the only Belgian horse race that takes place on public roads. "I still cycle quite a lot, but I didn't prepare for this," Museeuw laughed afterwards. The cycling legend ended his racing career in 2004.

- No one- aside from dorks like us- cares about cycling. Get over it, and enjoy the sport for what it is. External validation is neither necessary nor valuable.verve82518-12-2024

- You're mostly preaching to the converted on here, but this was still a thoroughly enjoyable article. Firstly I was incensed; as close to a perfect season as you're ever going to see in this era and it isn't good enough to make the shortlist?! Then I became reflective and pondered the sheer amount of joy I experienced from watching a great at work this year. Now I'm happy again.mikebeast17-12-2024

ScottG17-12-2024 - It's not about cycling nor about Tadej it's increasingly about the BBC. The SPOTY awards increasingly is about the few sports they have in their portfolio and the incessant push to be the most diverse organisation in sport, in fact in many ways now they have gone so far they other way. Awarding Cav a lifetime achievement award might be the last cycling ever sees other than track because they don't show it. The SPOTY night used to be widespread viewing in Britain, viewer numbers have plummeted in recent years. Sadly it's an anachronism, more about rewarding mediocrity if it fits their diverse agenda.slappers6617-12-2024
