The women's Elite road race World Championships today will start without two main figures. The time-trial world Champion Chloé Dygert and medal contender Katarzyna Niewiadoma will both not take to the start line this morning with illness.
In a note issued by the duo's team Canyon//SRAM, the team has written: "Wishing a full recovery to Katarzyna Niewiadoma and Chloé Dygert who are both announced as not racing the Elite Road Race today due to illness and on medical advice from their respective Federations."
Niewiadoma, just off a third spot at the Tour de France Femmes, was hoping to be part of the battle against the Dutch. “I can hardly express how shocked and sad I am that I will not be able to start," she said. "But health always comes first. I just need to rest now.”

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
- Debatable?Ride197423-12-2024
- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
