Why Sarah 4.0 needs no further upgrades following year of injury hell

Australian cyclist Sarah Gigante has returned to competitive cycling following a series of devastating injuries that have plagued her career. The most recent injury, a broken femur, required two surgeries and left her in constant pain, despite the fact that it was the least severe of her ailments. Gigante's recovery was aided by a strong support network, including her family and teammates, as well as her sense of humor and ability to find laughter in the midst of her struggles.

She credits her resilience for her ability to adapt and grow from her setbacks, which she likens to a software update. With her return to racing, Gigante has signed a new contract with AG Insurance-Soudal that will keep her with the team until the end of 2027. As she prepares to compete in her third major comeback, Gigante is grateful for the opportunity to showcase her skills in the elite ranks and looks forward to the challenges ahead.
