Amy Pieters remains unconscious following a crash while training one month ago in Spain. According to an SD Worx official medical update, Pieters has shown improvement in levels of consciousness and she is breathing on her own.

“Cyclist Amy Pieters has been undergoing treatment in a Dutch hospital for several weeks after her fall during training in Spain just before Christmas. The Pieters family has been receiving many questions about the current state of affairs, but for now there is little change to report about the situation, which the family experiences as uncertain," SD Worx wrote in a medical update released on Thursday.
