Though if AVV gets a season-ending injury right at the start she will probably be riding again before the TdFF, unless she loses a leg.

Are we sure that would stop her?

I assume it wouldn't stop her from racing altogether, but I'm not sure she would be allowed to ride the same races as before.

Is there a rule stating that you have to have two legs to race regular UCI races?

I can't be bothered looking through their regulations, but unless she got a prosthetic leg I doubt she would be able to compete, and I assume that isn't allowed in non-para-cycling. William Bjergfelt obviously rode the ToB last year, but he still has most/some of his own leg left.

Now allowed, or just never been done before?
