Shirin van Anrooij sidelined for six months while recovering from iliac artery endofibrosis surgery
Briefly

After some hard months on and off the bike, we finally got to the bottom of what was causing me problems in my left leg. I have had successful surgery to repair a narrowing of my external iliac artery. It was definitely a scary discovery at first, but everything went well and I am happy that I can now start my recovery.
I have a long journey in front of me! It will be around six months until I can properly think about racing again so, sadly this will mean no CX for me in 2024/2025, but I'll be watching and cheering for everyone all season.
All the support I have received from my friends, family, team staff and teammates has been incredible! It's made this process a lot easier so, I want to thank everyone who has been with me every step of the way through this.
