Blanka Vas undergoes surgery on collarbone after training crash
CyclocrossThursday, 19 October 2023 at 11:30
Team SD Worx's Blanka Vas was hoping to back up an impressive season on the road with some cyclocross success and had started well with victory at the GP Oisterwijk. Sadly for the Hungarian however, a bad training crash has now threatened that aim.
"Unfortunately Blanka Vas crashed today during a cyclocross training session. She will undergo surgery on her collarbone in Herentals tonight," says an official announcement by the Team SD Worx X (Twitter) account. "Get well soon, Blanka!"
It is not yet clear for how long Vas will be out of action but hopefully the 22-year-old can return to full fitness and winning ways before too long.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
