Anna van der Breggan, a prominent rider in the Ardennes Classics, has faced illness and was forced to withdraw from the Amstel Gold Race early on. Despite a strong start returning to competition this season, her health issues have led to uncertain participation in upcoming races. SD Worx-Protime's team manager acknowledged her struggles, noting symptoms from the previous days and the necessity of a precautionary withdrawal. While there are hopes for her recovery, the pressure for high performance has been alleviated amid concerns for her well-being as she aims for a quick return.
Anna is not fit. She didn't feel well on Friday in the Brabantse Pijl and on Saturday she also complained of a headache and sore throat.
Performing optimally will be difficult, but let's not panic. Anna may have caught a bad cold. That could last two to three days.
