After suffering numerous injuries in a crash at the end of stage 4 of the Baloise Ladies Tour, Alexis Magner<\/a> earned some extra incentive to work on recovery, inking a contract with EF Education-Oatly<\/a> for next season.<\/p>\n

Magner crashed along with Charlotte Kool<\/a> (Picnic-PostNL) and Fien Van Eynde (Fenix-Deceuninck) in the final corner, striking a post, leaving her with a collapsed lung, several broken ribs, multiple fractures in her left scapula and a broken sternum.<\/p>\n

“All my fractures are healing pretty well, and my mobility is getting a lot better. It was really bad,” Magner said.<\/p>\n

“The day that I was discharged from the hospital was the day that I signed my contract with EF Education-Oatly. That was a wild experience. Mentally, I needed it at the moment. It was like, ‘I have to get better because I have this thing to look forward to.’ Joining this team is the best motivation for my recovery.”<\/p>\n

The contract comes as her current team, Cynisca Cycling, are struggling to find funding for the coming season, and EF Education-Oatly are almost certain to jump to the WorldTour. Magner previously raced six seasons with Canyon-SRAM, winning the Drentse Acht van Westerveld in 2018 and coming second in Omloop het Nieuwsblad and the Ronde van Drenthe.<\/p>\n

However, she stopped with Canyon-SRAM in 2021 and stepped back to racing the domestic circuit with L39ION of Los Angeles until this season, when she felt ready to return to Europe.<\/p>\n

“I was really burned out when I left the WorldTour, so I stepped back to just find myself again,” Magner said. “But last year I decided that I wanted to come back and I wanted to strive for that place in the peloton that I know I’m capable of holding. Being older and having that experience, I want to give back to the younger riders coming up.<\/p>\n

“My motivation to come back has two parts: to reach the level that I know I’m capable of and also to pass on everything that I’ve learned over the course of my career. My time is limited, and I want to make sure that with all the lessons I’ve learned and the mistakes that I’ve made, I can teach the younger generation to hopefully guide them.<\/p>\n

“It’s not lost on me that it’s going to be a very hard road to be at the pointy end of the race and competitive at the WorldTour level. I know it’s going to take some time, but just having the opportunity to be there, giving my best in every race, and being a super supportive teammate to all these talented riders on the squad is incredibly exciting.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After suffering numerous injuries in a crash at the end of stage 4 of the Baloise Ladies Tour,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17056,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-139863","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","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
