Three of our riders had to abandon the Belgian Classic after being involved in a crash.
Following their crash in the opening 20 kilometers of Friday’s E3 Saxo Classic, Gil Gelders, Dries Van Gestel and Jordi Warlop were taken to hospital in Waregem. Both Gil and Jordi have been treated for concussion but fortunately have no other injuries.
While Dries did not have a concussion, he has however fractured his left elbow and wrist. A process for his treatment and recovery will be decided in the coming hours and days.
