Trained 3h on the MTB today. Thought he needed to rest untill he was fully recovered.

You can n't keep a good man down!

"Lyme disease was one thing, but there was also the fall in Le Samyn and his DNF at Paris-Nice," Van de Wouwer explains. "Because of that accumulation, Arnaud needed a real reset. Now he can calmly build up and the intention is that he can return to competition at the end of April or the beginning of May."

Mentally it has not been an easy period for De Lie, who also seemed to be suffering from pressure. "He has contributed to this a bit by winning so much in recent years, which means that expectations are extremely high. I think that if he can cycle again in normal and healthy conditions, the results will follow again. The class is there, we have no doubt about that."

Confirmed now that he will start again in his home race, Famenne Ardenne Classic, followed by Morbihan and Tro Bro Leon. No Frankfurt, as he needs to be in top form for that race and it's too early.

Good to hear he's on the mend and plans for the future.

Yeah, hope he can get back in the groove. He is young and talented enough to overcome these setbacks.
