Nico Vink of the Dolphin Bike Team will also not start his race at the world championships in Roturoa. After a crash in training in France, the Belgian rider kept on having pain in his back. A CT-scan at the hospital showed that there was a crack in his backbone between the 12th and 13th spine. Recovery is expected to take at least three weeks. Vink says he will shift his focus to the final UCI World Cup in Austria.
