The much anticipated return of Sarah Gigante to the women's peloton will have to wait a little longer with the AG Insurance–Soudal rider, who proved just what a Grand Tour threat she could be last year, having had to undergo surgery once again.
The latest round of surgery was to resolve ongoing issues after the Australian broke her femur in training following last year's Tour de France Femmes, where she was second on the Col de la Madeleine stage and sixth overall.
