âThe only thing I’m thinking about is my back is hurting and you have to be 100% focused on the course and I just can’t do it. Maybe I can turn around at the pace I want, but then I have to hold back because of the pain, it’s super frustratingâ, said the cyclist, remembering the World Cup in Belgium.
