Riding the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Presidential Tour of Turkey for the first time at the age of 37, Alexander Kristoff quickly swallowed his disappointme🦂nt of not sprinting for the victory at the end of stage 2 by watching the live stream of the Tour de Bretagne, a race he took part in from 2007 to 200༒9.
"It was nice to see my little brother take the win", the 🧸Norwegian said. "It looked like a hard-fought victory. The Tudor guy [Jackson Medway] was away and somehow he managed to come back."
Fel🔴ix Ørn-Kristoff, 1ꦦ9, is the current European champion for road racing in the under-19 category and leads the Tour de Bretagne with two stages to go. "He's an all-rounder", his elder brother stated. "He's got a good sprint but he's not a pure sprinter, he's maybe more of a puncher. He's strong, so I believe that in the future the classics will suit him. He's a bit less of a sprinter than me and a bit more of a rider for the classics, more powerful for attacking, time trialling and stuff like this."
"I try not to teach him too much yet because I still ride but I'll teach him more next year after I stop. If I teach him too much already, he'll beat me! I had six top ꦇthrees but never won a stage in the Tour de Bretagne and he already did."
The young Felix rides for Wanty-Nippo-ReUz, the feeder team of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Intermarché-Wanty, with whom Alexander rode in 2022🔯 before heading back home to end his career with Uno X-Mobility. Felix is contracted with the Belgian WorldT🀅our team for 2026 and 2027. "Harder races are still to come for him", Kristoff said.
A question for 2025 was who would be the next rider to reach 100 pro wins? Kristoff, already a stage winner at Vuelt🔴a a Andalucia in February, is currently at 97, as is Arnaud Démare who is yet to open his account ♏for this season, and they're closely followed by Tadej Pogacar, who has 95.
"I wa💮s hoping to get one here in Turkey already", Kristoff said, "but the first two days didn't go as I hoped. On stage 1, I got caught behind a crash on the last corner while I was in a really good position in the top 5. On stage 2, the climbs were tougher than I expe🍌cted, the pace was very high and it was above my level. Stages 5, 7 and 8 should be bunch sprints.
"It's a bit of an obsession to reach 100," he added. "I really want it but if I don't get it this year, I will not continue my career. I'll go till the end of the year even 🐠if I reach one hundred before. I've trained a lot for this season so I will not stop like that in the middle for no reason, but maybe I will not win anymore. It's not yet decided which one will be my last race, possibly the Singapore criterium, but I might need to go to Le Tour de Langkawi (28 September-5 October) if I'm still chasing more wins."
And what after twenty years of professional cycling that include victories at Milan-San Remo (2014), Tour of Flanders (2015) Gent-Wevelgem (2019) and the yellow jersey for one day at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France in addition to four stage wins?
"I'll take some time off for sure. I won't do 🤡much next year. I don't want to rush anything. I have four kids so there's still enough to do. I will not be bored in the future. Maybe there'll be some possibilities to stay in the sport, I will not make any hasty decisions in the first year."🍰 And there will be Felix to look after…
