Remco Evenepoel and Fabio Jakobsen have exchanged a string of messages of support as the Deceuninck-QuickStep pair recover from major injuries. 

Evenepoel broke his pelvis when he crashed over a bridge at Il Lombardia last weekend, not long after Jakobsen had suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash at the Tour de Pologne

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
