After months of recovery from a knee injury, one of Belgium's top sprint stars is back racing this Sunday in the Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monseré in West Flanders, but is warning that he is not at all certain of what his race form will be like.
Dogged by a knee injury that has kept him in the sick bay at a time when he usually races up multiple successes - last year by this point he already has six wins - 33-year-old Tim Merlier was due to take part at Nokere Koerse and Bredene Koksijde this week. But then he had to pull out.
