ProTeam Injury update Thomas De Gendt

Further examinations revealed that Thomas De Gendt has sustained a small fracture in one of the carpal bones of his left hand. The fracture is a non-displaced one and is healing well but will keep the Lotto Dstny rider out of competition for another while.

De Gendt crashed in stage seven of Paris-Nice and was forced to abandon. At first sight, he sustained a bruising to his calf and hand.

Now, further examinations have shown a minor fracture in his hand, which still hinders De Gendt. The riders is wearing a brace as a protective measure but can already train with caution. The fracture is healing well and De Gendt is expected to return to competition at the Tour de Romandie, which starts on 25 April.
