Fortunately, nothing serious, I just have a little pain in my arm and pelvis. Unfortunately, I hit right where I broke in 2023 during the reconnaissance at Roubaix,\u201d Guazzini told tuttobiciweb.<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Guazzini was leading a five-rider chase group on a descent when she appeared to lose control after her rear wheel locked up. She slid out and somersaulted into a wall, coming to a stop\u2014just on the edge of a steep ravine on the other side of the wall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Alarmed, the other members of the group slowed down and looked behind them before continuing on the descent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In April 2023, Guazzini fractured her pelvis during the FDJ-Suez final route reconnaissance, three days before Paris-Roubaix Femmes. She returned to racing on home soil to finish fourth in the time trial championships two months later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newly crowned Italian time trial champion Vittoria Guazzini (FDJ-SUEZ racing for GS Fiamme Oro) had to abandon the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4104],"tags":[4230,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-222687","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114763927549389069","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
