The Giro d’Italia Women<\/a> was just getting started when Cat Ferguson<\/a>‘s race came to an abrupt end as the 20-year-old British rider crashed on stage 1 and was forced to withdraw. She had arrived in strong form after claiming a third victory in the 2026 season at the Navarra Women\u2019s Elite Classic, in addition to finishing on the podium at The Traka 100 in her gravel debut.<\/p>\n

Her team, Movistar, originally reported that \u201cMedical conditions have ruled out any brain injury as well as cranio-cervical bone injuries. Cat will continue to undergo observation and further assessments while additional tests are carried out.\u201d<\/p>\n
