One of the main favorites of the spring classics will miss the Tour of Flanders and Paris – Roubaix
Silver medalist of the 2020 Olympics Wout van Aert Broke his collarbone and several ribs due to a fall at the classic cycling race Dwars door Vlaanderen 2024. The race itself was won by his teammate Matteo Jorgenson.
Van Aart was the main favorite of the competition. 67 kilometers before the end, the Belgian got into a wreck along with ex-world champion Mads Pedersen and other riders. Vout was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with multiple fractures.
The Belgian was one of the main favorites for the upcoming monuments of the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Van Aert will miss the rest of the spring classics and his participation in the Giro d’Italia, where he planned to compete for the first time, remains in doubt.
Wout van Aert is a silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in the group race. He also has four silver medals at the World Road Championships in group and individual races. The Belgian is the winner of the Milan-Sanremo 2020 monument. This season I managed to win two victories.
Earlier it was reported about the accident of Ukrainian Andrey Ponomar during the multi-day cycling race Cettimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali. The Team Corratec rider was taken to hospital. The team made no further updates on his recovery.
