‘Finally feel like a cyclist again’ – Thomas Gloag to race for the first time in 362 days after being hit by a driver in training

Thomas Gloag (Visma-Lease a Bike) will make his long-awaited return to racing at the Czech Tour, almost one year after being hit by a driver of a car last August and breaking his kneecap. 

It will be 362 days since the talented young Brit has raced when he takes the start on Thursday, with his last appearance being the Clasica San Sebastian at the end of July in 2023. Surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation period kept him out of competition for much of his second full year with Visma.
