Veronica Ewers, after a nine-month hiatus addressing RED-S and an eating disorder, made a noteworthy return to cycling, racing in March instead of May. Ewers hit 'rock bottom' last June before focusing on her mental health. Initially expected to race in May, her progress impressed her team, leading to an earlier return. Despite facing anxiety about rejoining the racing scene, her successful debut at the Clásica de Almeria showcased her recovery and readiness to compete again.
"With my time off and through my recovery, I really progressed a lot and better than maybe the team expected when it came to my mental health and physical health as well."
"At that point, in November or December of last year, they said 'We understand, let's take it week by week, month by month, see how things are' and so I just worked with my coach, looking ahead and trying to progress as much as I could."
