It was last Wednesday that the accident occurred during a competition in the Simac Ladies Tour in the Netherlands.

Emilia Fahlin collided with the Norwegian Susanne Andersen and went downhill.

Fahlin completed the race despite pain in his wrist, but on Thursday it was announced that the 33-year-old had dropped out of the tour to travel home to Sweden and have his injury examined by a doctor.

Now doctors have checked the wrist and found that it is off.

"I will be stuck in a cast for a few weeks and will not be able to participate in the upcoming competitions," writes Fahlin on Instagram.

This means she misses the WC in Australia, which begins on September 18.
