There was disappointment on Monday for Soudal - Quick-Step at the 2025 Antwerp Port Epic. With Tim Merlier forced to settle for 3rd place behind Timo Kielich and Rasmus Wallin, one of the European champion's loyal domestiques was forced to abandon the race after a nasty crash.
22-year-old prospect Gil Gelders is a highly thought of rider within 'The Wolfpack', but now, the Belgian is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken collarbone in his crash in Antwerp.
"Following his crash in Monday’s Antwerp Port Epic, Gil Gelders was taken to hospital where it was revealed that he has suffered a broken collarbone," reads an update on the rider's condition posted to Soudal - Quick-Step's official website. "The Belgian will now visit the hospital in Herentals, where a further assessment and a plan for his recovery will be made. Everyone at Soudal Quick-Step wishes Gil a speedy and health recovery."

- You bring some very good points, and I especially love the one regarding climate advocates. I've read many an article describing how celebrities and the like jet around the world in their private aircraft to attend various climate change conferences, in order to discuss what can be done to 'save the planet'. Those situations have to be the irony of all ironies.
santiagobenites04-07-2025 - the entire sport, and every sport, does nothing but create waste and pollution. sport is unnecessary to live on a daily basis. so in the entire sea of waste on this planet- this is what people are going to single out? don’t give me the “it starts with one person b.s.”. then anyone being critical, be that person, and stop following every sport and go plant a tree. and he doesn’t claim to be a climate advocate. what about those who are, and do the same?mij04-07-2025
