Lizzie Deignan was a last-minute addition to Lidl-Trek's roster for the upcoming La Vuelta Femenina after the medical team gave her the green light to compete in the eight-day race four weeks after sustaining a broken arm in a crash at the Tour of Flanders.
“I’m happy to have recovered in time for the Vuelta; I’m really looking forward to it and getting the first stage race of my season under my belt. It was obviously disappointing to crash out of Flanders, and I definitely missed racing the remaining Classics," Deignan said.
