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.

Cecilie has always shown extraordinary determination, a quality which will without a doubt benefit her in her preparation to return to competition”.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
