Vannoppen injures shoulder

Tom Vannoppen, who is still to try to come back to top form after taking time off earlier this season while being treated for depression, has had another setback. He crashed badly in Maldegem, hitting his face and dislocating his shoulder. But despite the injury, Vannoppen still wants to try for a good result in this weekend's race in Lille. "The muscles around the shoulder are very stiff, but I still have two days time to recuperate." Vannoppen told Sporza, "I want to try to conclude my season beautifully."
