Leah Thomas has been recovering from a neck injury sustained early in the year, but it hasn’t stopped her from putting up some top results this season.
Back in June, the 33-year-old won the US Pro Championships time trial. And more recently, she showed good form in last weekend’s UCI Road World Championships elite time trial, taking fifth place.
