Myriam Nicole Recovering from Surgery After Thumb Ligament Injury
Myriam Nicole has revealed she is recovering from surgery last week to fix a UCL rupture and Stener lesion.
After starting her season with third place at the Thredbo Cannonball downhill, Myriam Nicole will be back off the bike as she recovers from surgery to fix a thumb injury. Myriam Nicole has been away from racing in recent seasons while she dealt with ongoing concussion symptoms and was hoping to return to World Cup racing at Fort William.
Following the news of her surgery, we contacted Myriam, who shared additional details about the injury and said she would know more soon but would be trying to make it to round one in Fort William.
 | I broke my thumb ligament and had surgery last Friday. I will know more in a few weeks for Fort Bill, doing everything I can to be there. |
Myriam Nicole's post to social media last week.
We also contacted Myriam's team about her pre-season injury, with the Commencal / Muc Off team telling us that it is "aiming for the quickest and smartest way of recovery." The team believe it may be tough to be back for the opening round, but it will "do what’s best for the remainder of the season."
| We’re aiming for the quickest and smartest way of recovery and we’re surrounded by great people for it. Surgery went well and Myriam is already back on the training grind. Might be tight for the WC opening but we’ll do what’s best for the remainder of the season. |
We wish Myriam all the best with her recovery and hope she will be back riding and racing soon.

On another note, how come there is no Pinkbike article about her former team-mate Thibaut Daprela officially off Canyon Factory team and racing as a privateer in this season?

The bad thing is I have to use sram axs shifters or I literally can’t ride a bike.
The cool thing is I can touch my thumb to my wrist and make people gag.
I’ve met him in person, and when you look someone in the eye and see their demeanor when the camera isn’t rolling, you get a much better sense of what kind of person they are. In my eyes, he doesn’t deserve to be at the pointy end of this sport, and if it ends his career, WC DH will be better for it.
His last win was only because of the weather. I was also there for the wheel explosion in Snowshoe, just a little further down the track, and my first thought was Karma.

I didn’t say anything false, or make any accusations of my own. Sure, there would be the proverbial “shitstorm” as you put it, but that’s called discussion. And on a topic such as this, it’s bound to get heated. But I would have to speculate that the comment section isn’t what’s preventing an article, but rather PB is being wise and waiting for more credible info before releasing anything.
He could be guilty, or it could be a smear campaign as Thibaut suggests, but that doesn’t usually happen to good upstanding people.
"Unfortunately, following the announcement of my arrival within the Canyon CLLCTV team, problems began because obviously people in the community who knew my sporting abilities perfectly did not appreciate the fact that I was riding for Canyon at all. From there, people clearly tried to destroy or even destabilize me with odious practices. These actions caused a lot of harm to me but also to my loved ones and my family, which demonstrates vile, disloyal behavior and very far from sporting values. I could never have imagined such a smear campaign."
This is the rough translation from the French article. Thibaut himself is implying that off-bike things played a role. Even if you think he is innocent of it, he is acknowledging more to the story.
When asked directly about the allegations for depature - "There is no extra-sporting reason"
When asked about leaving Canyon - "This was done by mutual agreement, for legal reasons"
Sounds more like contractual obligations/restrictions.
There’s nothing wrong with not liking someone, and you don’t have to like me. But here in the US we strongly believe in freedom of speech. And hurling insults just because you don’t agree? Pretty childish.
Are you taking his statement at face value when he is saying he will sue people who say otherwise? Do you acknowledge that perhaps the person lawyering up might be lying for PR reasons?
I agree we should take his point of view into consideration, but given the fact that Canyon sacked him
Yep...I don't like you.
This is'nt baseless or due to a difference of opinion. Or because 'I had a feeling about you'. Or 'you look like one of them sorts'.
Neither is it an insult.
It's an assertation, you strike me as someone of limited mental capacity and an inability abilty to think rationally. As is evidenced by what you posted.
You are free to post whatever drivel you like.......and we are all free to judge you appropriately for it.
- "There was always something about him that rubbed me the wrong way"
- "when you look someone in the eye ..you get a much better sense of what kind of person they are"
- "he doesn’t deserve to be at the pointy end of this sport, and if it ends his career, WC DH will be better for it"
- "His last win was only because of the weather."
For someone *this* opinionated and quick to judge, you don't get to then claim you somehow also believe the info provided isn't credible.
I had an avulsion fracture, at the base of the ligament opposite of the UCL, but luckily, they didn't opt for surgery. They just yolo'd and pushed the bone and ligament back in place and used the cast to hold it there. It worked out, but it took a long time to fully recover from that one.
Vali will be the benchmark for the others though for sure.
