Professional Continental squad DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed have already had their fair share of injuries this season but the team suffered another setback last Thursday when Sven De Weerdt crashed out of the GP Pino Cerami in Belgium. De Weert sustained an open elbow fracture plus some ripped off tendons and will be out of action for a significant part of the season.
British champion Hamish Haynes and Gert Vanderaerden both crashed at the team's opening race, the Tour Méditerranéen. Haynes has returned to racing while Vanderaerden is back in training.
