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.

- Gotta? He doesn't come across very well. Great cyclist in his day but not exactly an interesting person or doer of great things since. He just bleats on about his self-esteem. Perfect for the woke age.Renz02-12-2024

- well, the “body of a champion” is the one that produces the best watts/kg. jonas’ ‘frail’ body weighs 6 - 8 kilos less than tadej. this doesn’t HURT his chances of winning. also, if he really is frail, i don’t know how in hell he came back from broken ribs and a punctured lung that fast and finish second in the Tour — fighting until the bitter end as phil points out. most NFL, NBA and MLB players seem considerably more frail compared to jonas.OCexile02-12-2024

- Thanks, we’re trying, it’s harder for the Mrs, I’ve been through more than my fair share of injustices in life so can keep a straight head when it matters. The problem is that journalists are too expensive for anything but the most serious and valuable stories so these days there is very little comprehensive reporting and texts are left to volunteer wannabees who have little regard for the consequences of publishing incomplete or angled stories. If you’re interested in anything you have to double check everything by doing further research. But, as most people aren’t really that interested and read most material for entertainment or distraction purposes or simply to have something to help promote their preconceived ideas, it has all become the accepted norm and we will never ever turn that back around as a society because we train humans to become more and more lazy and comfortable, including when it comes to brain use and critical thinking. There, that’s my bit said for Sunday ;-)Mistermaumau01-12-2024
