Juan Sebastián Molano has been ruled out of Gent-Wevelgem but will count himself lucky not to have been more seriously injured after being hit by a driver while training on Friday. 

UAE Team Emirates announced at the time that the Colombian sprinter had suffered a concussion and a fractured toe among 'numerous injuries' sustained while training in Belgium.
