World Cup Namur takes another victim as second Belgian rider suffers broken collarbone
Cyclocross
Yesterday, we reported that Gerben Kuypers had suffered a broken collarbone following his crash during Sunday's World Cup Namur. Unfortunately, he isn’t the only rider to face injury from the course, as Witse Meeussen has now confirmed he also broke his collarbone during the race.
The 23-year-old Belgian took to Instagram to update his followers about his condition. Despite the setback, Meeussen remained positive as he reflected on his performance and the road to recovery.
“Finally got a better feeling after some difficult weeks during the World Cup in Namur. Unfortunately, one small mistake got big consequences,” Meeussen wrote.
Meeussen revealed that he had undergone surgery, expressing gratitude for the care he received, “I’m back home after a successful operation on my left collarbone. I’m grateful for the help and care from AZ Herentals.”
The Belgian, who has had a challenging start to his cyclocross season, also thanked fans for their support, “Thank you for all the kind messages I got! I hope to be back on my bike soon with the help of the right people around me.”

- I'm so glad the cycling pharmaceutical team of "Lance, Inc" chimed in - otherwise we'd have no idea what to think, lol
ScottG17-12-2024 - It's not about cycling nor about Tadej it's increasingly about the BBC. The SPOTY awards increasingly is about the few sports they have in their portfolio and the incessant push to be the most diverse organisation in sport, in fact in many ways now they have gone so far they other way. Awarding Cav a lifetime achievement award might be the last cycling ever sees other than track because they don't show it. The SPOTY night used to be widespread viewing in Britain, viewer numbers have plummeted in recent years. Sadly it's an anachronism, more about rewarding mediocrity if it fits their diverse agenda.slappers6617-12-2024
- Amazing how much support there still is for cheating in cycling. But the riders are all clean now, right?Sweep17-12-2024

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
