A week after returning from doping ban, Toon Aerts ends cyclocross with possible broken nose and concussion in brutal crash

Last week Toon Aerts returned to racing in cyclocross after a two-year doping suspension, and showed tremendous form. He looked to end the short season on a high today in Oostmalle, but suffered a crash that has left him badly injured.
The Belgian rider reportedly crashed during today's race in a fast section and was still hit by a few riders from behind. However Aerts crashed on his head, and is said to have possibly suffered a broken nose and concussion. A brutal reminder of how difficult the sport can be, as Aerts had just returned to racing after a very lengthy issue.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
