Marianne Vos - 'When you're riding for victory and you finish fourth, it hurts'
Visma-Lease a Bike r🎶ider promises to target Paris-Roubaix again๊ in 2025

While her rivals stopped in the centre of the Paris-Roubaix velodrome to celebrate victory or at least a podium place, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) preferr💛ed to ride out of the velodrome at speed, perhaps trying to 🍨escape from the disappointment of finishing fourth.
Vos made each selection during the fast and wind-blown race and rode to the Roubaix velodrome with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), El🍰isa Balsamo and Ellen Van Dijk (Lidl-Trek), Amber Kraak (FDJ-Suez) and Pfeiffer Georgi (DSM-firmenich PostNL).
She seemed a favourite for the sprint, even against fast finishers like Kopecky and Balsamo. But instead she struggled to accelerate and was passed just before the line by Georgi, the British rider snatching third from Vos like an elimination race sprint on the track🦹.
Vos is the GOAT of women’s cycling, with 250 victories on her palmares but a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix victory remains elusive.
“When you’re riding for victory and you finish fourth, it hurts,” Vos told Cyclingnews, exღplaining her escape from the emotions of the velodrome✨ as she headed to anti-doping.
“It just didn’t work out for me in the sprint. I went early and just couldn&rsqꦉuo;t push any more. Georgi came up fast in the sprint. I’m disappointed but I can’t have🤪 many regrets, I gave it everything.”
Vos raced well on the❀ cobbles and🀅 in the wind, making sure she followed Kopecky’s multitude of attacks. She was defeated this year but promised to return in 2025 to try and win the one big race that escapes her.

“I felt good during the race. In Paris🏅-Roubaix you have to try to stay out of trouble. I manag𒐪ed that,” she said.
“I would have liked to do better but I&rsq🍌uo;ll be ba⛦ck next year.”
