Having crashed at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad over the weekend, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig is now set to miss Strade Bianche after medical examinations revealed that she had suffered a fractured sacrum.
The Danish rider was forced to abandon the race on Saturday after the crash, which will now leave her out of action for an undetermined period of time as her team continue to assess the severity of her injury.
She had been set to ride for FDJ-SUEZ in Tuscany on Saturday at Strade Bianche, where she finished third last year. It is unknown when Uttrup Ludwig will return to racing, as recovery period for this type of injury can vary.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025

- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
