Soudal-Quick Step is having a great season, but that doesn't mean their riders are immune to health problems. The Belgian team has announced that Mauri Vansevenant will have to undergo surgery and will be unable to ride for a period of time.
Vansevenant has been diagnosed with knee syndrome and is scheduled for surgery this Wednesday, which will take six weeks to recover from. As a consequence, Vansevenant won't be present at the start line of the Coppi e Bartali competition, and Martin Svrcek will replace him.
“The tests have shown that he suffers from pre-patellar friction syndrome. This means that Mauri will undergo surgery in Herentals next Wednesday and will have to recover for six weeks,” read the statement shared on social media.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
