Lars van der Haar to have knee surgery after wrapping successful season off this weekend

Thinking of his future, Lars van der Haar will miss the final two rounds of the cyclocross season to prioritize an injury that hasn't let him train as intended.
The Baloise - Trek Lions team announced yesterday in a statement that the European champion Lars van der Haar will undergo a surgery next week and thus miss the final weekend of cyclocross, making this one his last.
"In consultation with Toon Claes and team doctor Jan Mathieu, I decided to undergo knee surgery in the week after the X2O Trofee [race] in Brussels. I've been struggling with knee problems with long efforts for a while. Last winter I spared my knee from long endurance training not to overload it. If I train for more than three hours, knee pain arises," Van der Haar justified.
"Toon Claes and Jan Mathieu created a gap in the agenda to solve the problem with an operation. I am very grateful to them for the quick help, since otherwise I would have to wait a few weeks longer," the Dutchman added.
Van der Haar has had quite a successful season after returning to a level that he hadn't shown for some years. Having taken an impressive win in the European championships as the highlight, he also won the national championships and finished runner-up in the World Championships. Besides some great consistency, he also managed to win the World Cup in Tabor back in November.
