Deep wound, but ...
All-clear after Wout van Aert’s Vuelta crash
Wout van Aert does not yet have to completely bury his hopes of competing in the European and World Championships. The Belgian did not suffer any broken bones in his heavy crash in the 16th stage of the Vuelta a Espana, but did suffer a deep cut on his knee.
Van Aert crashed into a rock face on a descent on Tuesday and had to retire. The wound of the three-time stage, points and mountain classification winner now requires intensive care, his Visma team announced.
It is unclear how long the healing process will take and whether Van Aert will be able to take part in the European road race in the Belgian province of Limburg (September 15) and the Road World Championships in Zurich (from September 22) as planned.
At the end of March, Van Aert had crashed at high speed in the Quer durch Flandern, breaking his collarbone, sternum and several ribs.
