After checks back in the Netherlands with the team’s medical staff, Lars van der Haar will be ruled out for multiple weeks with a muscle injury in his left thigh, sustained at the Superprestige Ruddervoorde last Sunday.
Team Giant-Alpecin Physician Anko Boelens explained:
“After a first check-up at the hospital after the race, the initial scans indicated that Lars had suffered a muscle injury. Further medical examinations through an MRI scan revealed a tear in his left rectus femoris muscle. The average recovery time for such an injury is around 12 weeks. Although we hope that Lars’ current minor discomforts are signs of a prosperous recovery. He will now commence his rehabilitation programme.”
Lars van der Haar said:
“It’s very disappointing to have another setback. I have worked extremely hard to get back to a good level and to get a new injury is very hard to accept. I have mixed emotions, after finding out the full extent of the injury. I will remain positive because I want to get better again, but I feel quite tired at the moment.”
