Aussie champ Lucie Stewart sidelined with pelvis fractures
Australian road race champion Lucinda Stewart (Liv AlUla Jayco Continental) is facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines after fracturing her pelvis in a crash last week.
The 20-year-old, who took a surprise win at Aussie Road Nationals in Perth earlier this year, revealed on Instagram on Sunday that a fall last Tuesday left her unable to walk. She flew home from Girona to Melbourne where scans revealed three pelvis fractures. "Will be a long road ahead with rehab and recovery but I have the best support crew around me and will be back firing for the 2nd half of the season," she wrote.
