Dog bite to the testicles sees Frederik Frison ruled out of Opening Weekend: "The damage is quite extensive"
CyclingMonday, 26 February 2024 at 14:36
Frederik Frison was one of the most important transfers of this winter by Q36.5 Pro Cycling. The Belgian, fresh from the best season of his career, would have been an important card to play especially in the Northern Classics, but the 31-year-old was put out of competition until further notice after a dog attack.
Frison was outside with his daughter when a dog attacked the two, leaving the professional cyclist with unspecified inuries that required medical treatment. "We are optimistic regarding his full recovery," was the statement issued by his Swiss employer. "And we are close to Frederik and his family. We hope to see him in action again in the coming weeks."
“I went to visit acquaintances in the late afternoon when it happened,” Frison explains in conversation with Het Nieuwsblad. “The moment I walked in, I was suddenly attacked by the family dog, a Weimaraner, with painful consequences. After all, the dog bit me in the private parts. And without going into detail: the damage is quite extensive. The hand is also sewn in two places. That's because I wanted to defend myself and tried to push the dog away. Since today (Saturday, ed.) the pain has become somewhat bearable. Although sitting and standing up is still painful.”
“Of course it wasn't that much fun watching the Omloop on television, but I'm trying to put it down. It is now this way and not otherwise,” he concludes.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
