After scoring the first WorldTour victory of her young pro cycling career on Friday, Mara Roldan was forced out of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Britain on Saturd🐓ay after crashing in a rainy stage 3 in ౠKelso.

Roldan went down in a cr𝓰ash with 56 kilometres to go in the 143.8 kilometre stage and abandoned the race. Her team, Picnic-PostNl, announced on social media that sh𒁏e broke her femur in the fall.

"She undergoes surgery tomorrow, be🐲fore beginning the road to recovery at her own pace. Heal up, Mara and we'll see you in action when you're ready," the team wrote.

Kelso and the Scottish Borders hosted stage 3 of the Tour of Britain Women, but in addition to Movistar’s C𝕴at Ferguson taking her first Women’s WorldTour victory, the stage will be remembered for two big crashes on the♍ rain-soaked roᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚads that took down over 30 riders, with nine of them having to abandon.

The bigger of the two crashes happened in a right turn on a descent a few kilometres before the first passage of the finish line in Kelso with 56km to go. Roldan, who 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:won 🔯stage 2 with a 14-kilomeಌtre solo attack, was riding in third wheel when she slid out, and about 20 other⭕ riders suffered the same fate only seconds later.

It was down to luck who stayed upright and who didn’t, and while some riders got away unhurt or with only superficial injuries, several riders stayed on the ground for longer. Roldan was one of them, and as she received medical attention, Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) stayed with her, forgoing her own chances in the race to make sure R♔oldan was taken care of. For this, Deignan was awarded the day&rsquo𝓡;s combativity prize.

Barbara ꧋Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) also stayed down, with her teammate Lorena Wiebes checking on her right away. The 34-year-old Italian did not get back on her bike and was instead transported to hospita🐻l for check-ups.

Stage 1 winner Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) did continue the race after the crash, but she had already had a heavy crash early on stage 2 and eventuallyꩲ decided to pull out of the race.

Overall leader Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) als🃏o got back on her bike, but she was later involved in the second big crash that involved a dozen riders. In thℱe end, Faulkner crossed the finish line more than three minutes behind.

Letizia Paternoster (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) was not so lucky. Get🐎ting going again after the second crash, Paternoster sought out the race doctor with pain in her elbow and then deci🍌ded to abandon. 

Anniina Ahtosalo (Uno-X M𒀰obility), Sannah Zaman (CJ O’Shea), Lucy Lee (DAS-Hutchinson), and Karlijn Koops (Hess) also abandoned the race after crashing while Letizia Borghesi (EF Education-Oatly) stopped racing due to exhaustion in the wet and rainy Sꦡcottish weather.
