For Jasper Stuyven, a mid-race crash at Dwars door Vlaanderen in late March marked the premature end of a promising spring Classics season.

The Belgian had finished eighth at Milan-San Remo and second at the E3 Saxo Classic before a mass crash in the peloton saw him put out of action with a broken collarbone and multiple abrasions.
