Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert suffered a broken collarbone and several broken ribs in a heavy crash at the Dwars door Vlaanderen one-day race.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 29-year-old will now miss upcoming classics the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and Amstel Gold Race. <\/p>\n
Team Visma-Lease a Bike added it is “unclear” how long he will be out for.<\/p>\n
Van Aert fell in a high-speed crash 67 kilometres from the finish of the race in Belgium, which was won by Visma team-mate Matteo Jorgenson. <\/p>\n
A group of 10 riders in total came down, with Jasper Stuyven, Biniam Girmay and Michele Gazzoli also forced to abandon the race because of their injuries.<\/p>\n
Van Aert was in visible pain, with his jersey torn, before he was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
He was one of the favourites for Sunday’s Tour of Flanders, while the participation of fellow contenders Stuyven and Girmay is also in doubt.<\/p>\n
Paris-Roubaix takes place on 7 April, with the Amstel Gold Race on 14 April.<\/p>\n
The versatile Van Aert, who won the 2021 Amstel Gold Race and has nine individual Tour de France stage wins, was targeting maiden victories at Flanders and in Paris-Roubaix this year.<\/p>\n
He will hope to be back in time to make his planned debut at the Giro d’Italia, which begins on 4 May and where he is hoping for stage wins, having said he is set to skip this year’s Tour de France.<\/p>\n
Dutch great Marianne Vos won the women’s Dwars door Vlaanderen by beating Shirin van Anrooij in a sprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
