‘He’s barely fallen behind’ – Wout van Aert ramps up training hours as injury recovery progresses positively

Visma-Lease a Bike have provided a positive update on Wout van Aert, as the Belgian star continues his recovery from a fractured ankle that he sustained on January 2.

With surgery required following his cyclo-cross crash at Exact Cross Mol, it seemed as though the start of Van Aert’s road season could be affected due to the injury. However, it’s largely been good news coming out of Visma regarding Van Aert’s condition since his time off the bike was much shorter than feared.
