SD Worx has been forced to pull out of the upcoming Classic Brugge-De Panne due to multiple rider injuries, particularly after a crash at Nokere Koerse injured Lorena Wiebes and Chantal van den Broek-Blaak.

"It is a big shame that we have to skip this classic. Especially because of the crash in Danilith Nokere Koerse, some riders are still suffering from injuries now," said sports manager Danny Stam.
