Four weeks after breaking his collarbone during the Across Flanders on March 27, Belgium’s Wout van Aert returned to road training. The Belgian makes no secret of his desire to seek medals this summer.

A torn suit, tears and abandonment over Flanders, it was with these painful images that Wout van Aert left us almost a month ago. The medical assessment was serious and showed fractures to the collarbone, sternum as well as several broken ribs and a contusion to the lung.

A season far from over

However, the three-time cyclo-cross world champion is already back with a video that his team (Visma-Lease a bike) published on social networks on Tuesday, April 23.

If the latter had to give up the Tour of Flanders as well as Paris-Roubaix, in this video we see the Belgian rider smiling, confident and “happy to be able to train outside”.

If the date of his return to racing is not yet known, his other stated goal this season is to seek Olympic medals at the Paris Olympics, in both the time trial and the road race. A week ago, his team logically announced they were withdrawing from the Giro, the second major spring meeting.
