Former Canadian road champion Maggie Coles-Lyster has returned to action after iliac artery surgery with newfound confidence. The Human Powered Health rider bagged fourth place on Thursday's opening stage of the UAE Tour Women.

Coles-Lyster's 2025 season was almost a write-off. The 26-year-old from Vancouver was unable to win a race and managed only a handful of top-10 placings throughout the season. After being diagnosed with iliac artery endofibrosis - a condition which restricted blood flow in both of her legs - she underwent surgery last summer and returned to competition in October. Now fully recovered, Coles-Lyster has been on fire so far this season.
