'I came h🍸ere to learn, it would be ni🌳ce if my bikes were in order' - Belgian finishes 14th at Chrono des Nations

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cian Uijtdebroeks vented his frustration about his support from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bora-Hansgrohe after mechanical issues with his race bike and reserve bike at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chrono des Nations disrupted his race.
The 20-year-old Belgian finished 14th, 4:07 behind Britain's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) and was unhappy to suffer problems in his final race of the season and ♓realise he is losing time to his rivals due to aerodynamic inferiority.
in frustration.Uijtdebroeks confirmed his status as one of the best young riders in the peloton in 20🍨23. He won the Tour de L'Avenir in 2022 and was sixth at the Tour de Romandie, seventh at the Tour de Suisse and eighth at🌠 the Vuelta a España on his Grand Tour debut.
Uijtdebroeks revealed he is likely to ride the Giro d'Italia in 2024, with new team leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Primož Roglič targeting the Tour de France🦂. He knoꦰws he and Bora-Hansgrohe have to work to improve his time trialing.
“It'🐻s something we [Bora-Hansgrohe] really need to improve,” Uijtdebroeks said.
“I have the power. Herꦅe with my 65 kilos, I pedal almost 400 watts on average oജver an hour. However, the entire set-up needs to be fine-tuned, because we just lose a lot with that.”

Uijtdebroeks is keen to lower his CdA (coefficient of aerodynamic drag - the lower it is, the more aerodynamic a rider and their equipment is) closer to that of compatriot 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep), who finished second at the Chrono des Nations and fellow young prospect 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates).
“We will have two time trials at the Giro. We really don't have any 🎃more time to lose," he said.
“This w🌃inter we will have to spend a lot of time in the wind tunnel to finally get my position a bit better.
“The planning for this winter has yet to be drawn up, but it seems obvious to me that there is work to be done for the team. It would be stupid if there wasn’t꧃.”
Uijtdebrཧoeks is under contract with Bora-Hansgrohe for 2024, with his future beyond that still to be decided.
GCN reported Lidl-Trek and Ineos Grenadiers have both shown interested in the talented young Belgian but Bora-Hansgrohe 🍌are also keen to keep Uijtdebroeks after he came through their development programme and junior team.
“I'm not really thinking about it y🐬et,” Uijtdebroeks said of his future, recognising the support and freedom he has enjoyed at Bora-Hansgrohe.
“So far I have always had a good program and have been able to make a lot of progress. That is also than🍌ks to the team," he said.
“I would never have had so much freedom elsewhere. But we will have to analyze things carefully: what willℱ it take to be truly competitive in the Grand Tours in the future? Then we will see whether Bora can offer that, or whether we have to look for a place where they do.”
