The cycling world was shocked last week by news of
Jumbo-Visma star,
Nathan van Hooydonck being involved in a serious car accident. Close friend and teammate,
Wout van Aert has now spoken out about the incident.
“I was training when I got the news. It felt like I had been holding my breath all day until the news came that he had woken up. It hit me hard," admits the Belgian who is currently preparing for the upcoming
European Championships. "It was a big relief, but there are still a lot of questions for him and for us. The first hours were the worst: you feared for his life and it came out of nowhere."
