The double Olympic Champion was involved in an incident during training, on Tuesday.
Following an incident while training today, Remco Evenepoel was taken to hospital where it was revealed that he has sustained fractures to his rib, right shoulder blade and his right hand.
Remco was taken to the Erasmus Hospital in Anderlecht shortly after the incident, where he was initially assessed. He will now travel to the hospital in Herentals, where alongside the Soudal Quick-Step medical staff, his injuries will be further assessed and the pathway for his recovery decided.
We wish him a speedy recovery!
Update
After his accident earlier today and following an initial examination at the Erasmus Hospital in Anderlecht, Remco Evenepoel was moved to the Herentals hospital for further investigation into his injuries.
As reported earlier, Remco has sustained fractures to his rib, right shoulder blade and his hand. Examinations have also revealed contusions on both lungs and a luxation of the clavicle.
The clavicle will be operated on this evening, which if successful, should allow Remco to leave hospital tomorrow. There will then be a two-week period of immobilisation required following this, after which a plan for his return to training can be made.
Soudal Quick-Step would like to thank the staff at the Herentals hospital for their help!
