Luke Plapp has withdrawn from the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race because of a re-aggravated wrist injury sustained earlier this year. Despite racing with a heavily taped wrist, the pain persisted, prompting further assessment and advice from his medical team to sit out of the race. The injury originally stemmed from a crash in December 2024. Plapp's team announced he will undergo surgery and rehabilitation in preparation for his goals in the upcoming 2025 season.
"After suffering with ongoing wrist discomfort from an injury sustained in 2024, Luke Plapp will not race the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race under advice from the team's medical staff after being reassessed."
"Plapp could be seen racing with a heavily taped up left wrist earlier in the Australian summer season and the rider told Cyclingnews in Adelaide that he had re-aggravated an earlier injury in December when he crashed in training."
