Belgian cyclist Wout Van Aert also suffers from a bruised lung. The Belgian's fall during the "Across Flanders" race last week caused him numerous fractures and a bruise on his p from the fall.

The latter refused to give a return date to competition for the rider who planned to run the Tour of Italy in May. His teammate and leader in the stage races, Jonas Vingegaard, himself seriously injured after a fall this Thursday, would prefer to see him on the Tour de France.
