Van Aert is already training outside 10 days after breaking his ankle
Wout van Aert broke his ankle 10 days ago during Exact Cross Mol, and had surgery the following day. Nine days later, the Belgian has logged his first outdoor ride post-injury, labelling it "Won Monday" with a party emoji.
The multiple cyclocross world champion saw his winter programme ended prematurely at the snow-affected Zilvermeercross, but that he's so quickly back on the bike, and not still confined to the indoor trainer, is reason for a little optimism with the road season around the corner.
