Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) and Lizzie Diegnan (Lidl-Trek) were forced to abandon the Tour of Flanders following an early-race crash on Sunday. The two riders were involved in a crash just 10km into the women's 163km race that started in Oudenaarde and both were taken to hospital for further medical checks.
Lidl-Trek posted a brief update across its social media channels following the accident. "Getting the news that Lizzie Deignan has been forced to stop racing after an early crash. We’ll have another update when we know more," wrote Lidl-Trek during the race.
