Gianni Vermeersch's elbow fracture will not further jeopardize his preparation for the Tour de France, Alpecin-Deceuninck let their fans know via their social media.
After his crash in the gravel race around Antwerp, Vermeersch was prescribed a week of 'relative' rest. An advantage was that he could continue training on the rollers. For that week of rest, Vermeersch traveled to an altitude chamber in Ledegem.
On Saturday, the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider was given the green light to train outside again during a check-up with the doctor. "As a result, Gianni will join the rest of the riders in the pre-selection for the Tour de France today in La Plagne," said the Belgian team.
Gianni Vermeersch has never ridden the Grande Boucle. The 31-year-old rider did complete the Giro d'Italia in 2021 and the Vuelta a Espana in 2022. Mathieu van der Poel's important teammate at the Classics had a great spring with 6th place at Paris-Roubaix, while his leader went on to win the race in dominant fashion.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
