Sarah Gigante injury recovery and return

Overview

Australian professional cyclist Sarah Gigante is preparing for a competitive return following a year-long absence caused by a femur fracture sustained during a training crash. The AG Insurance-Soudal rider underwent two surgeries and extensive rehabilitation to recover from the injury.

While Gigante initially aimed for a return in March or during the Giro d’Italia in May, her recovery was delayed by complications involving surgical hardware. After missing three Grand Tours, she is set to return to racing at the four-day Faun Tour in France. Her team has stated they are taking a cautious approach to her comeback with “no pressure” on the athlete.
