Soudal Quick-Step has a medical update on several of its injured riders.
Following his withdrawal from last week’s Volta a Catalunya, Valentin Paret-Peintre underwent a medical examination where it was revealed that he has a fracture of the coccyx. He has to remain off the bike for at least two weeks.
Dries Van Gestel had an operation Monday at the hospital in Herentals, on the scaphoid that he broke in last Friday’s E3 Saxo Classic. This will see Dries in a cast for three weeks after which his progress will be reevaluated.
Martin Svrcek has been able to travel from the hospital in Italy where he has stayed since his accident at Milano-Sanremo and will continue his recuperation at the hospital in Herentals.
