Climbing star Sarah Gigante has suffered a broken femur in training, ruling out her end-of-season goals in the process, her team AG Insurance-Soudal announced on Saturday.
Gigante has starred in the Grand Tours throughout 2025, taking two stage wins and finishing second at the Giro d’Italia Women, before backing it up with an impressive Tour de France Femmes campaign that saw her finish sixth on GC.
“My short but sweet stint as Sarah 3.0 was pretty good, so I figured the next step was to level up to Sarah 4.0….” said Gigante.
“I’m super disappointed to have broken my femur in training on Thursday (ouch), but the operation went very well and I’m already counting down until I can eventually ride again.
“I was so looking forward to hopefully representing Australia at a hilly World Champs in Rwanda and to then finish off my season in Italy, but at least the four races I did this year were all great ones…and I sure know how to nail a comeback! For now, it’s time for some R & R and working on my mental resilience even more.”
