Sarah Gigante Forced to End 2025 Season Due to Serious Injury

Sarah Gigante will not be racing for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old Australian from AG Insurance-Soudal broke her thigh bone during training. She had set goals for the World Championships and the Italian autumn classics, but the third-place finisher of the Giro d'Italia and sixth in the Tour de France Femmes will have to cross those off her calendar.
