Mattias Skjelmose holds the hopes of the Danes going into the 2024 World Championships in Switzerland. Just days out from things getting underway in Zürich however, the Lidl-Trek star has been forced to abandon the Tour de Luxembourg following a crash on stage 2.
"Not a good news from Tour de Luxembourg," writes Lidl-Trek on their official social media pages. "Mattias Skjelmose was involved in a crash after 20km of stage 2. He reported some wounds that prevented him from riding and, as a result, forced him to abandon."
UPDATE
In a positive update, Lidl-Trek's team has given details of Skjelmose's condition to Het Nieuwsblad. "The Dane has sustained wounds to his elbow, hip and knee and was a bit dizzy after his fall. But the team doctor indicated that there is no question of a serious injury." As such, the Dane's World Championship dream is still very much alive.

- 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
