VIDEO: Wout van Aert crashes early at UCI World Cup in Hulst

One of the rare meetings on cyclocross' 'Big 3' this winter, the UCI World Cup round in Hulst may have already seen two of the star attractions rule out of race-winning contention.

After a broken bike saw Tom Pidcock into some early difficulty, Wout van Aert has also lost a big chunk of time in the early stages, crashing at a seemingly innocuous point in the race and having subsequent chain issues. In total, around 30 seconds have been lost by the Belgian due to the incident.
