In November, Lars van der Haar suffered a tear in his left rectus femoris muscle during the Superprestige Ruddervoorde. After working with his team’s medical and performance staff through his recovery, his condition has improved significantly and he will return to racing this monday at Heusden-Zolder.
“I am happy to restart at Heusden Zolder. I’ve had some tough weeks and worked really hard on my recovery. It was still uncertain for a while if I would be able to race again in 2016, but I am really happy to do so. This will close my period at Team Giant-Alpecin nicely, and to make a fresh start in January. Rather than focusing on results my goal will be to finish the race on Monday," he said.
Team Physician Anko Boelens added: “It’s been almost two months since he sustained the injury and Lars’ recovery has progressed nicely. After extensive tests we now feel that Lars is ready to participate in racing again. Ultrasound scans show the lesion has healed well and further
tests on the bike show his leg is strong enough to get back racing.”
Based upon Heusden Zolder, a decision will be made about participation at Loenhout.
