Kenny posted on Twitter, “Unfortunately I’ve caught a stomach sickness and won’t be able to fly to Paris to race in Round 3 of the UCI Track Champions League and I’m very bummed.”
I’m going to take some time to recover and make sure I’m ready to go for the two home races in London the following weekend.
The 30-year-old has had difficulty in her first season, earning only eight points after the first four races.
Last weekend in Berlin, she was the first rider to withdraw from the elimination race, finishing 17th in the scratch race.

After winning both races in Berlin, British teammate Katie Archibald, who teamed up with Kenny to win the Madison gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, is second in the Endurance standings.
Even though she had a poor performance, Kenny insisted last week that she was thrilled to be taking part in the Track Champions League. I don’t regret showing up and racing, the woman stated. “I’m having so much fun!”
Kenny had recognized before the series began that she was far from her prime, but in Berlin, she stated she intended to ride herself into shape for the series finale in London.
I’d really like to race in London, and maybe I will, she added. We still have hope, right?
The racing on Saturday in the suburbs of Paris will also be missed by German star Lea Friedrich, who withdrew from the competition in Berlin midway through.
