Fem is also unable to start in Zolder next Tuesday, which sadly means she won’t be racing for us anymore before moving to @JumboVismaRoad in 2023. Eli is still uncertain for Zolder. Join us in wishing Fem and Eli the best recovery! 🍀🤞

It has been a very mixed week for Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal, who seemed to be on the path to recover their two leaders, but will be seeing them both absent in the upcoming World Cup round in Gavere. Fem van Empel and Eli Iserbyt are still forced to take some time off to recover from their injuries in Val di Sole.
The snowy course saw several crashes, however the Belgian team has suffered the most. Fem van Empel abandoned the race and will miss the upcoming races in Gavere and Heusden-Zolder, hence prematurely ending the time with the team, as she is moving away to Jumbo-Visma from the 1st of January onwards.

She remains in the lead of the World Cup, however will see it reduced likely as Puck Pieterse will be racing. Van Empel suffered a slight concussion and bruising in her knees as a result of the incident.
As for Eli Iserbyt his injuries were not publicly discussed, however his abandon following the Val di Sole crash indicated a possible knee or thigh injury. He travelled to Spain together with his teammates however for some training, but will not be racing in Gavere. The World Cup victory hence becomes a virtually unreachable goal taking into consideration the points he's lost and will not take this upcoming Monday.

- 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
