Loana Lecomte out of XC World Champs due to Stomach Bug

by 2

Loana Lecomte announces she will not race in Val di Sole at the XCO MTB World Championships due to a stomach bug.

Loana has dominated this season, winning four races, and one short track event. She missed out on the team relay today. Despite being U23, she has raced in the elite category this season. The World Championships would have seen her race in U23 women. Rider for Massi Bikes and 2021 French champion, she came away with 6th at this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.

#backstronger Sick for 4 days (gastro), without energy and unable to ride… unfortunately I will not be able to defend my U23 title this year. A good little rest, time to take care of myself and I will be ready for the Lenzerheide World Cup with the @massibikes family.

I wanted to thank all the @ffcycling staff, my team and @philippechanteau who were able to listen to me, support me and help me make this difficult decision. And also apologize to the whole relay team I was involved in and especially “M ****” for today! Photo @kenoderleyn 🙂

Not too good about writing about myself, but not so bad at writing about other things. There was a time that I hated bikes, but then they became my life. Wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been on this journey. Here's to bikes, drinking tea and everything that comes with life on two wheels. I'm Lauren, I like bikes and writing about them. Always trying my best and up for adventures.

    As defending U23 champion she would be wearing the full white and rainbow stripes right?

    I wouldn’t be wearing white shorts on TV if there was any chance of sh***ing myself either.

    Yep, gotta say I agree with that. White shorts are always a risk…
