Just three days after crashing heavily out of Paris-Nice, Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) resumed training indoors having avoided serious injury, with his upcoming altitude camp and scheduled race program for spring unaffected.
Skjelmose crashed hard onto his right side during the shortened seventh stage at the Race to the Sun, after colliding with a low divider kerb in the middle of the road. He was left lying on the wet road and writhing in pain, forced to abandon when he was looking poised for a podium finish overall, having started the penultimate day in third place on GC.
