Maghalie Rochette's season on hold due to health problems - " I really hope I come back sooner than later, but long term"

While the racing season is coming to an end, Cyclocross is just getting started, but Maghalie Rochette won’t be a part of it.

She was infected by Covid earlier this season, and this took a heavy toll on her body. The rider tried her best to cope with fatigue, but her body was not ready. “I got back on the bike, and I felt like crap, I started a pretty big training block, just trying to push through while thinking, well, I don't feel very good, but if I push through, I'll eventually find the fitness and come back again,” said Rochette.

She shared her problems with Evie Richards, who advised her to take a break. I ended up talking to a few people, including Evie Richards. She told me about the protocol she did.”

Eventually, she decided to prioritise her health over race and take a break. “ I am trying to not have a plan and take it day by day. I really hope I come back sooner than later, but long term. . I want to approach this the best way I can, and weirdly enough, it might mean doing nothing,” concluded Rochette.
