Lotto Soudal's exciting 24-year-old Belgian prospect, Sylvain Moniquet has suffered a potentially season ending injury. After an accident at his home, it was revealed Moniquet had suffered a sprained ligament in his hand.
After a successful surgery, Lotto have announced Moniquet is "now recovering." With the expected recovery time being at least a couple of weeks it looks as if the Belgian is more than likely done for the season. Moniquet himself however is staying positve, taking to twitter to announce the following "I had an emergency surgery this monday due to a ligament rupture in my hand, I will be out for a while and I will miss the Italian races but the Langkawi tour is still possible."
