Vanthourenhout another casualty in Gavere

Sven Vanthourenhout was another rider to suffer misfortune in last weekend's Superprestige 'cross in Gavere. A fall left him with no fractures but some swelling as a result of ligament damage meant he was sore on Monday morning.

"Only the capsule around the bones and joints of my wrist are damaged," the Sunweb rider told Sporza.be. "And because the ligaments are concerned, my right hand is swollen." Vanthourenhout added that, "I can continue to train, but for two practice sessions I'll wear a protective brace."
