Verstrepen and Van Loocke OK

Landbouwkrediet-Colnago riders Johan Verstrepen and Jurgen Van Loocke are both OK after crashing in yesterday's Nokere Koerse in Belgium. Verstrepen underwent x-rays on his hand on Thursday, but they showed no broken bones. He will be able to resume training with a special cast. Van Loocke has pain in his back, but he can ride as normal.
