He really has sufferd these past 3 years. Such a shame for such a talented guy. May he get at least one year without problems!

Highly likely end of season for him.
Not only his back is still a problem, also his foot hurts again when he's training fully. What a *** season for him.

Do you think these issues are going to be chronic?

I am not a doctor

But no I don't think so. His foot is a bit weird, as it was fine when he was training intensively before the Tour (maybe it's because he positions himself differently on the bike with his backpain). His back probably just needs more time to heal, he might've started to early in the hopes to get fit enough for Worlds. But again I'm not a doctor, and also don't know what they are saying exactly.

Is Van Eetvelt riding the Giro? He is currently listed as one of 10 riders for Lotto but he doesn't have a starting number on PCS as if he was a reserve or something. Just wondering if something is up since he has been removed from a few start lists lately, now latest for Frankfurt.

His career is going terrible right now. In fact I think it's happening to every young belgian rider.
De Lie
Nys
Cian
Widar

So much hype and performances are very underwhelming until now.
Belgian is still relying in WVA and Remco to get big wins.

Lenny VE's contract is up att he end of the year (like De Lie's) so maybe there's something there, but it's been a while since his been at 100%.
