Two of the riders in Lidl-Trek’s Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift squad are ‘the two Elisas’, Elisa Balsamo and Elisa Longo Borghini, both of whom return to racing after crashing out of their last races.
For Balsamo, it is the first race back after crash injuries sustained kept her sidelined for over two months. She had fractured her jaw at the RideLondon Classique, requiring extensive surgery, and only recently started training on the road again.
