Mischa Bredewold fears end to season following crash in the Faun Tour

In the first stage of the Faun Tour, Mischa Bredewold was involved in a crash with two team-mates ten kilometres from the finish. Bredewold managed to finish the stage, but was taken to hospital afterwards for a check-up. There, she was diagnosed with a minor fracture in her pelvis, as well as a wound to her elbow. She underwent successful surgery.

“There were fears that I’d torn a tendon in my elbow, but fortunately it turned out during the operation that this wasn’t the case. I’m trying to take heart from that, because this is a huge disappointment. I fear, therefore, that this most likely means the end of my season, although I remain hopeful of a miraculously quick recovery. This setback is, of course, particularly bitter. Especially as I’d also been selected for the Road World Championships in Montréal, which I was really looking forward to,” said Bredewold.
