Visma | Lease a Bike rider suffers 'frightening collision' in Spain: 'I was incredibly lucky'

Bad news for Visma | Lease a Bike: Imogen Wolff will be sidelined for at least the coming weeks. The young British rider was hit by a motorist last Sunday while training in Spain, she revealed on her social media.

Wolff shared a photo series on Instagram in which she described the incident. "Life currently doesn't look like this anymore after a scary collision with a car last Sunday," she wrote.

"I'm incredibly lucky to have come away 'only' with a concussion, and recovery is now the priority," said Wolff, who has recently raced the Vuelta a España Femenina and Veenendaal-Veenendaal among others.

Cat Ferguson (Movistar) was on the training ride with Wolff, and was able to look after her friend in the immediate aftermath. Ferguson herself recently sustained a concussion in stage 1 of the Giro d'Italia Women.

"It is a reminder of how vulnerable you are as a cyclist, and a call to drivers to please take care on the roads. Let's look out for each other out there," Wolff concluded.
