Women\u2019s Gent-Wevelgem preview: 4 Canadians lining up<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u201cThis has nothing to do with my wrist,\u201d he said. \u201cThat recovery is going well, even better than expected. Of course, my arm muscles are a bit stiff because of the lack of exercise in recent weeks, but that\u2019s nothing we have to worry about.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dane ended up having a quicker-than-expected return to racing. He had a great ride at Milan-San Remo after a wrist fracture earlier this season at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. Pedersen just missed the podium\u2013almost catching Wout van Aert who took a flyer on the Via Roma.<\/p>\n
The Lidl-Trek rider followed a careful rehab, starting on the rollers before progressing outdoors, with training loads gradually increased. After he showed some solid numbers the team said, yup, it\u2019s go time.<\/p>\n
He should be fine for the remainder of the Classics, where he will undoubtedly be a force.<\/p>\n
There are multiple Canadians racing on Sunday, too. Two men are racing, Nick Zukowksy and Guillaume Boivin. But in the women\u2019s race, Canada has four women racing. You\u2019ve national champ Alison Jackson and teammate Simone Boilard (St Michel \u2013 Preference Home \u2013 Auber93), Maggie Coles-Lyster (Human Powered Health) and \u00c9lo\u00efse Camir\u00e9 (Minimax Cycling Team) in the batte. Jackson and Coles-Lyster have been looking good lately, and could shine. Maybe Zukowsky will find himself in a break again? Dude seems to live out front recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mads Pedersen won\u2019t line up at Gent-Wevelgem, erm, sorry, In Flanders Fields \u2013 from Middelkerke to Wevelgem, after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-571906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
