Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

[Hugh Januss]

This guy makes Lipowitz look like a puncheur.

loooooooooooooooooooool

Wow...ripped his heart out.

Ouch it hurt a bit to watch that. Too bad for Cian that he couldnt keep this up.

 

[Andre]

that was so strange; it looked like Cian was pouring it on with 500 meters to go, and then all of a sudden Lecerf, who had been caught by a small group re surges and catches him at the line. Did Cian stay on that big gear too long, or was his team not communicating....so baffling. Anyway congrats to Junior, he's becoming a nice little climber

Tough luck for Cian today- it looked like he just hit the wall at the wrong time- had to race the way he did to get the gap but guess he was in the red too long and paid in the end. Still a promising set of results with San Sebastian' l'Ain and Czech Tour.

Longer term I suspect he lacks the top end acceleration to be an elite GT rider as looks more diesel (his ability to ride people off wheels is impressive) but still looks good enough to be a very useful tool in a mountain train for Jonas in the GTs.

They commented that he was in the big chainring(?) It was like his legs turned to cement in the final few meters.. He was flying until he wasn't.. Like struck by lightning!!

One of the commentators mentioned something like "why did he ride that big gear towards the end"

He looked to be turning it over great!! He looked awesome and then.....
But all in all, he still rode great, and this has been an excellent month.. Even today his result was decent. Visma has another reason to be optimistic.

I agree...good showing for Cian.

I hope there is a race or two before the year ends where he can use his form..

hmmm, good point. Not sure, perhaps one of the Italian races

He is riding WC normally, and maybe even EC

 

[Netserk]

I think he will ride Slovakia, if it has any mountainous stages this year.

For me as long as he flips the script and his name is reestablished as a racer and not some problematic drama queen.. He is still young, super talented and fits in the story with Onley, Lipowitz, Del Toro, Ayuso, there is room for him..
