Wouter Weylandt of Quick Step crashed in the Europacup derny race, near his home in Gent. The young rider, who was enjoying a good season so far, stayed on the ground for several minutes, according to Sportwereld. He was then brought to hospital, where no fractures were found.
He did receive stitches in several areas in the face, among others on his chin and cheek. He will get a more thorough check in the coming days.
