Sensitive souls refrain ! Complicated Saturday for Lars van der Haar in a cyclo-cross event. The 32-year-old Dutchman, most certainly injured during a fall, repositioned his shoulder mid-race, during an event organized in Belgium.
Visibly hampered by pain and forced to stop, the Dutchman took care to descend below a difficulty in order to allow the other competitors to pass without incident. With the help of the frame of his bike, and visibly the post of his saddle, Lars van der Haar therefore put his right shoulder back, before putting his bike back on his back and continuing the race.
“Not my day,” the cyclist commented on social networks while sharing this video. Let’s move on to the next one! “. The race, third round of the Superprestige, was won by Belgian Eli Iserbyt, who signs his third success in as many races in this competition.
Double European cyclo-cross champion in 2015 and 2021, the Dutchman won bronze last week in this same competition organized in France in Pont-Château (Loire-Atlantique). In the absence of the trio of stars of the discipline, Wout Van Aert, Mathieu Van der Poel and Tom Pidcock, the competition was won by the Belgian Michael Vanthourenhout ahead of the Briton Cameron Mason.
