Maddy Nutt faced a challenging moment during the Traka 360 gravel race when she crashed after another rider fell. Despite the incident, her bike remained intact, and she chose to continue racing. An x-ray later revealed a partial ligament tear in her AC joint, yet Nutt pushed through significant pain, especially during steep sections requiring both arms. Her determination to maintain a top ten position exemplified her competitive spirit and ability to withstand adversity on brutal terrain.

"I had some painkillers and had a chit chat and just said I'm gonna try and keep going whilst I'm still in a top 10 position..."
