Following months of recovery from a devastating crash at the 2020 World Championships in Tuscany and a limited programme of racing last summer, Chloe Dygert made her long-awaited road race debut for Canyon-Sram at Saturday's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.

Last year, she took part in the time trial event at the US Nationals before turning her focus to both the road race and time trial at the Tokyo Olympics, though the Opening Weekend marks the first time she's raced alongside her teammates since joining the Women's WorldTour squad at the start of 2021.
