While the impact / medical report is bad, I feel many here see it far too negative.
If his skin heals, he sleeps well, his ribs and sternum grow back together... he can be competitive somewhere in July.
Realistically, he can't figure in the olympics (for sure not as a main contender, but you know the Olympic phrase that competing is more important than winning), but he can race Vuelta and Worlds.
As for Visma and the way they're racing, I don't buy that there is too much pressure on WvA. I think he has proven his worth for Visma the last 4-5 years and is worth his money. I don't think there is that much pressure on him personally from the team, and I also think WvA doesn't suffer from too much outside pressure: he knows he has formidable competitors (if MvdP wasn't born, WvA would already have cemented his status as national hero winning RVV, Worlds, ... in Flanders and probably have a statue in his hometown) and that's frustrating, but he enjoys racing (as long as he doesn't crash as hard as yesterday) and even without major wins, I think he can live with what he has won, rather than what he hasn't. If WvA has to be sad about not having won too many big races, 99% of the peloton should be very depressed.
But the interesting thing I noticed about Visma's notes about Dwars door Vlaanderen:
"km 121 will be chaos on downhill but fight like hell to be with the guys"
I mean: if you read this carefully, the crash was a selffulfilling prophecy, and Visma has to think REAL hard how much responsability they want to take for this crash, given the way these notes ask for nothing else than to ride agressive and take serious risks crashing, for no other reason that setting up an attack for WvA to win this race. There was a time when prep races were just that: prepare for the big race. If WvA (but Visma in the first place) treated this race like a prep race, testing out tactics, e.g. send Benoot / Jorgensen up the road, or let WvA chase attacks rather than be the one to attack,... or in other words: Visma could have eased up just a bit in this race, still win it, but learn a lot more from racing differently than the plan they had now, which was to obliterate the competition already on Kanarieberg. What would they have learned from that, in preparation for trying to beat MvdP on Sunday? Not much it seems. Maybe whether they could drop Stuyven / Pedersen, but that's about it.
