Dylan van Baarle has given details of his high-speed crash in the Forest of Arenberg during this year's Paris-Roubaix, insisting he is “doing okay” despite suffering fractures to his left hand and right shoulder and his team doctor deciding to glue cuts on his face. 

“Given the circumstances. But I am quite bruised, scraped and broken." I'm doing well," Van Baarle told the AD-In Koers podcast.
