For Bob Jungels (AG2R-Citroën), much of the  last six months has been spent dealing with the fallout from an injury that effectively had wrecked the last two years of his career.

As the 29-year-old discussed in a revealing interview with Cyclingnews last November, a diagnosis of arterial endofibrosis last summer answered a lot of questions about why he had suffered such a major drop-off in results and condition in 2021, 2020 and even before. The diagnosis also left Jungels wondering about how he would be able to recover and how full that recovery would be.
