Elisa Longo Borghini back on the bike after missing World Championships due to surgery
Cycling
Elisa Longo Borghini was cruelly forced to exit the Tour de France Femmes and subsequently miss out on the 2023 Glasgow World Championships but the road to recovery has taken a positive stride with pictures shared of the Italian back on her bike.
"The good news of the day: Elisa Longo Borghini is back in training!" Lidl-Trek posted to their official Twitter account beside a picture of the Italian national champion riding her bike. "After withdrawing from Tour de France Femmes 2023 due to a skin infection, she needed surgery and time to fully recover. Now the Italian champion is back to health, she can start to ride again. Elisa will have a gradual return to training, so her racing schedule will be decided according to her progress."
I’m back, again! 😊 and it feels great to ride even for a couple of hours! https://t.co/IMiEcnbg3G

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
