Regrets for Kung at Tour of Flanders but Madouas makes cobbled ... (Cyclingnews.com)

Groupama-FDJ slots two riders into the top five with the Madouas podium a celebrated step up.

“Frankly, I’m a bit disappointed for him as well because I think he had the legs to be up front and fight for the win as well. I was in front for a moment but I started to cramp and had to slow – I couldn’t push anymore.” “On the Kwaremont I was very close to hanging in there. I’m ... still developing and in two or three years time I hope to be there with them, and why not next year.” Madouas underlined his ability on Flemish cobblestones with a strong showing on the roughest climb of them all, the Koppenberg. While many a seasoned Classics rider was being dropped, he was able to follow Pogačar’s devastating acceleration. He was 14th at Flanders that year and returned to finish 39th last year, before catching the eye in a big way this past week. I expected to be up there with the best guys but to be on the podium is really super.” For Madouas, the podium represented his breakthrough as a cobbled Classics rider. We came back to Wright, then honestly at 10km to go I thought the podium spots were done – these four guys we’re never going to see them again, so these guys I didn’t want to ride through with them because you never know. We did a great race as team, but yeah, when you see that final stretch and you think ‘ah maybe everything would have been possible'… but we have a worthy winner here.” As Madouas was nearing the line, Küng was winding up behind. Still, he was delighted to find himself on the podium.

Vaccinated patients with blood cancers are at higher risk of ... (Fox News)

Researchers found COVID-19 vaccines protect most cancer patients but not as protective in those with hematological cancers.

The researcher also explained that this type of analysis was only possible because the team had a huge COVID cohort and control cohort.

The group is now working to answer additional questions about waning immunity and the effectiveness of booster shots. “We are monitoring the situation to see what new variants will mean for cancer patients and how to best protect them through vaccination.” “We could use this to imitate the differential immune capacities among cancer patients. “This type of analysis is only possible because we have a huge COVID cohort and control cohort.” Some immunotherapies rely on a patient’s immune capacities, and these findings could help researchers predict which patient populations may respond best to specific treatments. Researchers examined more than 64,000 cancer patients who were vaccinated against COVID-19.
