stage 3 of the Tour of Austria on Friday, holding off Igor Arrieta (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in a two-up sprint after the pair spent the day in a larger breakaway.<\/p>\n<p>Powless punched the air after crossing the line for the victory, while Arrieta kept his arms on his handlebars, raising his front wheel to pound the pavement in frustration.<\/p>\n<p

More significant to the 29-year-old US rider was vanquishing the last four months of non-competition after recovering from knee surgery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I feel like I can finally put this nasty chapter behind me with surgery and rehab that was really complicated.

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider said after the race that a sprint scenario would have better suited for one of his teammates, but was glad to have the opportunity to go for the win.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think I wasn\u2019t the best person to have the finish decided in a two-up sprint. I knew Jan [Christen] was coming from behind, so I tried to save as much as possible, to make Powless do the work. But in the end, I was not able to escape, and he beat me in the sprint. Sometimes, it is like this, he was better than me,&#8221; Arrieta said in a team press release.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The leader of the Tour of Austria going into the final two days of racing is Gregor M\u00fchlberger (Team Austria) with 1:31 over US rider Kevin Vermaerke (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and another 10 seconds on third-placed Bauke Mollema (Lidl-Trek).

stage 3 of the Tour of Austria on Friday, holding off Igor Arrieta (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in a two-up sprint after the pair spent the day in a larger breakaway.<\/p>\n<p>Powless punched the air after crossing the line for the victory, while Arrieta kept his arms on his handlebars, raising his front wheel to pound the pavement in frustration.<\/p>\n<p

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider said after the race that a sprint scenario would have better suited for one of his teammates, but was glad to have the opportunity to go for the win.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think I wasn\u2019t the best person to have the finish decided in a two-up sprint. I knew Jan [Christen] was coming from behind, so I tried to save as much as possible, to make Powless do the work. But in the end, I was not able to escape, and he beat me in the sprint. Sometimes, it is like this, he was better than me,&#8221; Arrieta said in a team press release.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The leader of the Tour of Austria going into the final two days of racing is Gregor M\u00fchlberger (Team Austria) with 1:31 over US rider Kevin Vermaerke (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and another 10 seconds on third-placed Bauke Mollema (Lidl-Trek).

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider said after the race that a sprint scenario would have better suited for one of his teammates, but was glad to have the opportunity to go for the win.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think I wasn\u2019t the best person to have the finish decided in a two-up sprint. I knew Jan [Christen] was coming from behind, so I tried to save as much as possible, to make Powless do the work. But in the end, I was not able to escape, and he beat me in the sprint. Sometimes, it is like this, he was better than me,&#8221; Arrieta said in a team press release.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The leader of the Tour of Austria going into the final two days of racing is Gregor M\u00fchlberger (Team Austria) with 1:31 over US rider Kevin Vermaerke (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and another 10 seconds on third-placed Bauke Mollema (Lidl-Trek). The best-placed EF Education-EasyPost rider on GC is James Shaw, 2:31 back in seventh position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/teams-riders\/it-was-50-50-if-i-was-good-enough-neilson-powless-closes-nasty-chapter-of-knee-surgery-with-stage-win-at-tour-of-austria\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/y4ak7nB6FbUdC8fbB8FTgX-2000-80.png&#8221;] 1 Tour de France: Tadej Poga\u010dar blasts away from Jonas Vingegaard on final section of Les Angles ascent for stage 3 victory and yellow jersey 2 Tour de France: Mads Pedersen scorches stage 4 sprint with Quinn Simmons closing for Lidl-Trek one-two as yellow jersey changes hands 3 &#8216;I lacked that extra [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-2038527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2038527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038527\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2038527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2038527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2038527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
