Zoe Bäckstedt will make her cyclo-cross season debut on 28 December, less than two months after she fractured her wrist in a training crash, her Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto team has announced.
The 21-year-old, the reigning under-23 cyclo-cross world champion, said her helmet saved her life when she came off her bike on 1 November. Following the crash, she trained indoors for over a month, and has now been medically cleared to return to racing.
