Incident, injury and impressive results on the road all contributed to a whirlwind debut pro season for Jake Stewart, who rides for French team Groupama-FDJ.
A second-place finish at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was followed by a clash with Nacer Bouhanni in the final of Pays de la Loire, resulting in a fractured left hand as he missed the Tour of Flanders.
Stewart went on to record top-10 finishes on stages of the Tour de Wallonie and the Tour of Poland but he has since revealed he has been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.
The lifelong condition, which causes inflammation in the intestines, has hampered Stewart’s start to this year but he is determined to achieve his potential regardless at Birmingham 2022.
