Remco Evenepoel Hospitalized After Training Accident

Remco Evenepoel is beginning his recovery journey following a serious training accident involving a postal vehicle that left him with multiple injuries, including fractures to his rib, shoulder blade, and hand, as well as contusions to his lungs and a dislocated clavicle. The 24-year-old cyclist underwent surgery after being hospitalized in Anderlecht and later in Herentals for further treatment. Despite the severity of his injuries, Evenepoel expressed gratitude for the support he received and emphasized his determination to recover stronger. The incident is expected to delay the start of his competitive season and prevent him from attending a team training camp, with a two-week immobilization period needed before he can begin training again. The postal worker involved in the accident is cooperating with an investigation and is reportedly deeply affected by the incident. Evenepoel's team has wished him a speedy recovery as they anticipate adjustments to his racing schedule for the upcoming season.
