Urska Zigart, a Slovenian cyclist who rides for the AG Insurance - Soudal team, has withdrawn from the UCI Road World Championships, which are set to take place from September 20 to 27 in Montreal, Canada. She made the decision on Sunday, September 13, following a crash she suffered during the Faun Tour Femmes, a women's cycling race held earlier in the season. The incident has left her with injuries that are expected to end her racing season. The crash during the Faun Tour Femmes was a significant setback for Zigart, who had been performing well in the competition. The Faun Tour Femmes is a multi-stage race that takes place in France, and it is one of the key events in the women's cycling calendar. Zigart’s team confirmed that the crash has likely ended her chances of competing in the World Championships, which are among the most prestigious events in professional cycling. Zigart is not the only athlete affected by the crash. Her partner, Tadej Pogacar, a Slovenian cyclist who competes in the men’s peloton, has also withdrawn from the World Championships. Pogacar is one of the top cyclists in the world and had been expected to compete in Montreal. His withdrawal suggests that the crash may have had a broader impact on both athletes, possibly due to shared training or recovery plans. The World Championships in Montreal are set to feature top cyclists from around the globe, competing in various road races and time trials. With Zigart and Pogacar out of the event, the competition will see a shift in the dynamics of the races. Both athletes had been in strong form heading into the championships, and their absence will be a notable loss for their teams and fans.
