Remco Evenepoel: “It was only a nail width or I had m ​​…

Remco Evenepoel has escaped much worse in his fall in the Tour of Lombardy. “It was only a nail’s breadth or I should have spent my life like this”, pointed out the young Deceuninck-Quick Step rider to his wheelchair in the VTM documentary ‘Ik ben Remco’.

A pelvic fracture, according to the verdict after the fall that Evenepoel made in a gorge in the Tour of Lombardy. “I was very lucky”, it sounds now. “Firstly, I had a burst vein in my groin, which fortunately they were able to operate immediately. If they hadn’t seen that on the scan, I would have just bled to death in my leg. ”

“The second is something that no one really knows except the doctors: the fracture was within one millimeter of my nerve. If it had been hit, I would have spent the rest of my life like this (points to wheelchair, ed.) (Girlfriend) Oumi and Mommy saw me turn pale when they told me. It really only made a difference. ”

In the meantime Evenepoel has been released from his crutches. Last weekend he trained on the road for the first time on the day he should have started in the Giro.
