Van Aert could soon be back on the bike, Strade Bianche still a goal
Wout van Aert is currently recovering from surgery to treat an ankle fracture suffered at Exact Cross Mol, but the Belgian star is optimistic that his 2026 road campaign will not be too dramatically affected by the injury layoff.
According to Het Laatste Nieuws, even though walking and running will be a challenge in the short term, riding indoors could soon be possible for Van Aert as he recovers. He is reportedly hoping still to be able to participate in a February training camp with Strade Bianche as a first major goal of the season. [Het Laatste Nieuws]
