The Belgian has been working his way back to fitness having been sidelined since early March with a knee issue, missing the Volta a Catalunya in the process.

On Thursday, he was completing his first long endurance training ride since suffering knee problems earlier this spring. However, his seven-hour ride and the rest of his training camp were now majorly disrupted by a driver who hit him on a descent late in his ride.

Van Eetvelt took to Instagram to explain what happened, showing a nasty cut to his chin, a video of the aftermath of the incident, and the damage caused to his bike.
