Tom Van Asbroeck to miss out on classics campaign due to thrombosis
CyclingFriday, 01 April 2022 at 10:00
Israel - Premier Tech have lost an important piece of their cobbled classics block as Tom Van Asbroeck will be forced to miss out on racing for the upcoming period as he's suffered a superficial vein thrombosis due to a recent crash.
The Belgian has had a crash recently which has injured his right arm, and he has been diagnosed with a superficial vein thrombosis. According to the team, Van Asbroeck "will undergo anticoagulation treatment in the next weeks in order to resolve the issue. While Tom can continue to train conservatively during this time, he will not be able to race due to the risks posed..."
His return to racing will depend on how his recovery goes. Van Asbroeck finished 19th at the Tour des Flandres and eighth at Paris-Roubaix last year. Sep Vanmarcke has had a far from ideal run-up to the classics with illness but will be the team leader for the upcoming races, although the likes of Jakob Fuglsang and Guillaume Boivin will present plausible alternatives.

- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
- We never compare oranges to apples. It's always apples to oranges. Order is important. Not sure why. :)Sweep19-11-2024
