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.
