The Olympic Cycling Champion Remco Evenerpoel has been hospitalised after he was involved in an accident while out training on Tuesday morning. The 24-year-old from Schepdaal, in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Dilbeek will be examined by doctors who will assess the extent of the cyclist’s injuries.
Remco Evenepoel was training when he was involved in a road accident in the Flemish Brabant village of Oetingen, around 15km from his home in Schepdaal. Evenepoel reportedly collided with a post office vehicle on the Kerkplein, in the centre of Oetingen. How the accident happened is still unclear.
The emergency services went to the scene and took the cyclist to hospital for medical checks. The Olympic Champion was conscious throughout and was sitting upright. So, it would appear that his injuries are not too serious.
