Fleur Moors excited to return to competiton after a ruptured kidney: "I'm happy to be able to start again"

Fleur Moors has recovered from a ruptured kidney sustained in a crash while training ahead of the C2 race that was held in October in Beringen, Belgium, and will return to competition at the Cyclocross World Cup held in Dublin on Sunday.

"I'm happy to be able to start again. There is still a bit of work to be done, especially in terms of explosiveness. But it is OK. We will see what the first cyclo-cross race gives," she said about her return to action in an interview with Sporza.

"I'm now looking forward to cyclocross. As a first-year prospect, I have to aim for the championships this season. I like to ride with the pros and my results don't matter much. I can't compete for the podium anyway and then everything is good for me."

18-year-old Moors is one of the 'new generation' - five young cyclists coming to Lidl-Trek ahead of next season. Moors has secured a two-year deal with the American team and will thus make her debut with the Women's WorldTour team in 2024.
