Injured Emma Norsgaard joins growing list of riders out of La Vuelta Femenina

The list of riders out of the race continued to grow on stage 3 of La Vuelta Femenina, with Emma Norsgaard among those bowing out of the race as she felt the impact of a stage 2 crash.

“The Dane’s DNF from La Vuelta Femenina, Tuesday, was a result of her pain to elbow (bruise + stitches received after Monday’s stage two) + significant cervical contracture following yesterday’s crash,” said Movistar on social media.

“Transferred by race ambulance to Teruel’s Hospital Obispo Polanco, examinations for major injuries came back negative.”
