Amy Pieters: 'Still no clear picture' of Dutch cyclist's future after December training crash

Pieters won stage two of the Women’s Tour in 2021. She also became the Madison world champion for the third year in a row.

Alongside Kirsten Wild, Pieters had become the Madison world champion for a third consecutive year and also won stage two of the Women’s Tour in 2021.

She also won the Dutch national road race and Nokere Koerse in Belgium last year.

“There is still no clear picture of what we can and cannot expect.

“The doctors say ‘as long as she doesn’t do things on command, she’s not awake and we can’t wake her’.”
