Remco Evenepoel targets return on bike in February following training crash

Remco Evenepoel has said that he is aiming to return to racing in mid-April following last week’s training crash which saw him suffer multiple fractures.

The Belgian broke a rib, shoulder blade and his right hand after the driver of a postal van opened the door in front of him, known as dooring, causing him to crash. He underwent surgery swiftly after the incident, with his Soudal-QuickStep team reporting that a “two-week period of immobilisation” would follow.
