Kristen Faulkner's hopes and ambitions for the 2023 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift have suffered a major blow after the American suffered a small fracture in her knee after being hit by a car during training in California.
Falkner crashed twice in the opening stages of the Tour de France Femmes last year and was hoping to make a successful return this year. However Jayco-AlUla were cautious about her return to racing. The team did not outline exactly where the fracture occurred or gave an expected time-frame for her return to racing.
