Amy Peeters will be returned to the Netherlands on Thursday for further treatment, more than two weeks after an accident during a training camp in Spain, SD Works announced Wednesday.

Pieters lost consciousness after an accident while training with the national track team on December 23. She was airlifted to a hospital in Alicante. Doctors performed surgery to relieve pressure on her brain and put her in a medically induced coma.

Doctors originally planned to release her from sedation in a few days, but extended that until this week. She is now stable and breathing steadily.

"Only when the rider wakes up will the medics get a first impression of the consequences of the fall," the team said.

Cyclocross world champion Lucinda Brand, after winning the GP Sven Nys on January 1, dedicated her victory to Pieters by writing "Amy" on her helmet as she raced.

"Very difficult times. It's nice to win. But on the other hand, I know it's not that important. I'm always thinking about (Amy and) her family. I hope they can take some strength from this," Brand said.

Brand's teammate Ellen van Dijk wrote on social media: "The end of the year and the beginning of the year is usually the time to post something. I'm a little torn right now. Nothing else seems important when it comes to Amy. I don't know if posting about Amy will help her. May the strength of the peloton be with you.

At the Dutch track championships, several athletes added her name to their skin suits with a heart in place of the "m" and top road athletes also expressed their support for the Dutch sprinter, Mark Cavendish, Filippo Ganna, Elia Viviani, Elisa Balsamo and others wrote messages on social media.
