Remco Evenepoel has reportedly been taken to hospital following a training crash in Belgium after he collided with a postal vehicle.
The double Olympic champion is said to have been conscious and was sat upright after the incident but the severity of any possible injuries remains unclear.
Belgian media have reported that Evenepoel was unable to avoid the door of a Bpost postal vehicle that opened in front of him, however, the full details of the crash are yet to be confirmed.
The 24-year-old has now been transported to the Erasmus Hospital in Anderlecht, where his family will soon join him.
“We are still on our way, but we don’t know much more ourselves,” said his father Patrick Evenepoel to Het Nieuwsblad.
“He was taken to the Erasmus hospital in Anderlecht under the supervision of an MUG team. He has already sent us a message, so we hope everything is okay. From what I hear, he fell after colliding with the swinging door of a Bpost truck.”
Evenepoel had been getting into the full swing of training again ahead of December and January training camps and the start of the 2025 season. He’d also recently been in the US for wind tunnel testing at the Specialized HQ in California and spent the weekend at the Formula 1 Qatar Gran Prix.
