SD Worx suffer heavy losses as Vollering and Fisher-Black abandon Tour of Scandinavia
CyclingSaturday, 13 August 2022 at 13:45
Team SD Worx will take to the start of the Tour of Scandinavia two riders down today, after yesterday's heavy crashes led Demi Vollering and Niamh Fisher-Black to abandon the race before the start of today's stage.
Vollering was a major candidate into today's summit finish at Norefjell which would largely decide the outcome of the race. After finishing second at the Tour de France Femmes, this comes as hit to the team. She crashed during yesterday's stage and was accessed for concussion after the finish, and the team opted to pull her out of the race as precaution.
Niam Fisher-Black was also forced to abandon the race due to similar reasons, as she will not take to the start today after being diagnosed with a broken collarbone. Both were within striking range of the race lead, which is currently held by Marianne Vos who's won the opening three stages of the race.

- 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
