News from Anne-Caroline Chausson’s sponsor, Ibis, reveals the reason behind the pro rider’s sudden disappearance following the Samoens World Enduro Series race in July 2015 was treatment for ovarian cancer.

ACC had apparently been feeling unwell for some time prior to the Samoens but an MRI scan at the time revealed the cancer. Since then she has undergone treatment including surgery and chemotherapy and in and interview posted on the Ibis website, she is reported to be recovering well and could even be back racing again this summer.

In an Instagram post 2 weeks ago she hinted at her continued recovery without giving details of her illness.

“Back to training. All exams are good. It will take some time but i will try to get in shape. thanks for your support guys.”

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
