"We finish this race and will take the time it takes to help her" - Marta Cavalli still traumatized following Tour de France Femmes accident
Cycling
Marta Cavalli sustained significant injuries during last season's Tour de France Femmes but managed to recover and make a successful comeback in October. However, she still experiences discomfort while riding in the peloton.
Her recent performances in this season's races have also been impacted, exemplified by the missed chance in the UAE Tour Women stage 3, which could have been advantageous for her team.
“I didn't feel comfortable on my bike when the wind started blowing sideways. It's a good lesson, and now I know where I have to work to improve," she told L'Equipe after the race.
“Marta made a good climb, but she still feels a blockage linked to this fall in the Tour de France last year. She is apprehensive in a peloton,” team director Cédric Barre told Cyclingnews.

Team manager Stephen Delcourt further added,“Marta is not cured. We finish this race and will take the time it takes to help her. We'll take care of her.”
Her teammate, Victorie Guilman, has expressed high confidence in the Italian rider, and believes that it's only a matter of time before she regains her previous form."Marta is a great champion, a great professional, she gives everything for the team, she will get over it, I have no doubt about that," concluded Guilman.

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
- You beat me to it. Should he make a full recovery (likely) and go light early in the year. One, two, three. Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Should he be on a Feel-Like-He's-Fixin'-to-Die High.Yepperoni04-11-2026

- It's weird to say Evenepoel would be making a "serious mistake by adding the 2027 Giro d'Italia to his calendar, warning that such a decision could even be interpreted as a lack of confidence in his ability to win the Tour de France." It may well be a mistake but with so many commentators (of all sorts) continuously claiming almost everything Remco does as being a mistake, almost nobody should care what the pundits and the disparagers should say. His team may not want him to do the Giro, and that matters. But it's possibly or probably up to Remco to decide and it may not have to be decided on until a month or so ahead of the race. Yes , Remco is inconsistent much like the majority of the best riders but he's enjoying a period of not having been recently injured (or sick). Whatever he does he need not be concerned with critics who will second guess any perceived failure no matter what. I suspect he will have enough other races on his schedule so he won't be considering it. But the worst reason to not race it is because of what some will say - humorous that be.Yepperoni04-11-2026
