OPQS has good news to report about rider Kevin De Weert!
Kevin was successfully transported yesterday morning back to the Hospital of Herentals in Belgium from Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza, Spain after his crash during Stage 11 of La Vuelta. He had further examinations from both team and hospital medical staff. Fortunately, new examinations excluded the rupture of his left knee patellar tendon.
“I am super happy to be in Belgium now,” De Weert said. “My situation is improving day by day and here in Herentals I am in really good hands. I want to really thank the first responders who brought me to Belgium— from the guys of the ambulance that took me from the road on the crash to the hospital staff. I also want to show my appreciation for the support of the team, my family, friends, and everyone at home. Now I am here. It will be a long process but I am ready. I am OK, and it is now only important to recover. I want to thank also the people, all the supporters who sent me nice messages. It was really a nice moment to see how many people are following me and worried about me. I am more relaxed now and hope all my supporters can also relax. Thanks to everybody.”
Tomorrow the team medical staff will meet again with the staff of Herentals to start with the process of treatment for Kevin’s injuries.
