Stewart leaves Santos Women's Tour with concussion
Former junior time trial world champion crashes in st🎉age 1 sprint
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Macey Stewart (Wiggle High5) has withdrawn from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Santos Women’s Tour after sustaining a concussion following a crash during stage 1 on Thursday.
Stewart, from Tasmania and a former junior time trial world champio🐼n, had just returned to the professional peloton to make her debut with Wiggle High5 at the four-day 💦race.
Her teammate Nettie Edmondson won the stage that ended in a cagey bunch sprint in Gumeracha. Edmondson described the sprint 🎃as ‘messy’ but said that her teammates including Stewart got her into position t♚o win.
"Rachele [Barbieri] found me coming into the finish and put me in a really good position," Edmondson said. "And then I found Macey [Stewart] as well and she finished off the las🤡t bit, putting me into the UniSꦜA lead out train.
"We did what we could in the messy situation, and I jumped on the train. Then with about 400m to go we took the last corner and I tried to be patient. Lauretta Hanson kicked with about 200m 𝓰to go, but I left my run reallyཧ late because of the headwind and, sure enough, timed it perfectly!"
Edmondson won the sprint ahead of forme꧅r two-time world champion Giorgia Bronzini (Cylance) and Laur🍌etta Hanson (Aus) UniSA-Australia.
The crash happened a mere 300 metres from the finish line. Stewart was one of the first to go down. A medical update from the organisers confirmed she had a concussio🌞n. She wasn't the only rider to sustain injuries.
