February 4, 2026
In a disheartening turn of events, Mads Pedersen faced a challenging beginning to his season after experiencing a crash during the first stage of the Volta Comunitat Valenciana. Following the incident, it was determined that he sustained fractures in both his left wrist and right collarbone, necessitating surgical intervention scheduled for tomorrow.
The primary concern for the team is to provide Mads with the highest quality of medical care available. Their immediate goal is to facilitate a smooth and effective recovery process, which is crucial in order to limit any potential setbacks that could impact his objectives for the season ahead.
We will keep everyone updated regarding his progress and will announce when he is set to return to competitive racing. Further updates will be provided as necessary, but our main focus remains on Mads' recovery at this time.
