Giro d’Italia still a ‘serious option’ for Wout van Aert despite multiple fractures

Despite Wout van Aert suffering several major injuries – including broken ribs, collarbone and sternum – at the Dwars door Vlaanderen, the Belgian star could still be in line to start the Giro d’Italia in May.

Van Aert was ruled out of both the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix following the crash, with his debut at the Giro also a doubt as the Grande Partenza is only a month away.
