Cyclocross
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.

- 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
