Not only Wout van Aert, but also Jasper Stuyven suffered a broken collarbone from the terrible crash in Dwars Door Vlaanderen. The Lidl-Trek rider tells his story to HLN for the first time from the ambulance.
"F*ck, I saw it happening in front of me, but I couldn't move. Wout tapped the rear wheel of a teammate, was thrown off balance and collided with my teammate Alex Kirsch. The two fell and since I was just behind Kirsch, there was no way to dodge. I went over my bike with my head and took a serious tumble ending up on my left shoulder."
Stuyven immediately felt for his collarbone. "Although I have never broken a collarbone before, I immediately knew it was broken. It is immediately a big break, because both the doctors at the Ronse hospital and Dr. Claes say that an operation is unavoidable."
"It is a shame that I was not able to show my top condition in the two biggest races of this spring. Roubaix was certainly noted. I was also set back by bad luck on Sunday in Gent-Wevelgem. So I was only able to show my form somewhat in Harelbeke with a second place."
"Although we were in the same hospital, I never saw Wout again. Well, his family. He will first be operated on tonight in Herentals, immediately after him it will be my turn. Maybe tomorrow morning we can have a coffee together on our sick bed..."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
