Lorena Wiebes delivered a message on social media on Tuesday to the driver of a vehicle that collided with her while she was out riding during her end-of-season racing break.

The post started with, "For the person who hit me and didn't stop", and included a picture of a flat bar bike with a buckled rear wheel and the tyre off. "Luckily, I'm quite OK, but this could be way worse, especially because I got hit from the back," continued Wiebes in the Instagram story.
