Het Laatse Nieuws<\/em><\/a> reported that Belgian rider Benoot (Jumbo Visma) was caught up in a collision with a car whist training and broke a vertebrae in his neck. The crash was apparently caused by a driver during a descent. On Tuesday, Benoot posted on Instagram and said “”First of all, want to let everyone know that I’m doing ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yesterday I was involved in a crash in the Italian Alps. I’m now in the hospital, receiving good medical care to recover from the crash. Despite the seriousness of the situation-examinations showed that I suffered a small fracture in my neck – was never in a life-threatening situation and am stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thanks everyone, for sending me all your kind messages. In the following weeks, I will fully focus on my recovery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benoot took third place at San Sebasti\u00e1n, finished third at the Amstel Gold Race this year and second at Dwars door Vlaanderen, and is known as a hard man but this must have been scary. Wish him well with the recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
