Visma-Lease a Bike have provided a positive update on Wout van Aert's condition, stating that he is on track for a possible start to his road season at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad later this month.

The Belgian star is currently training at altitude in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains, as he continues to recover from fracturing his ankle at a cyclo-cross race back in January. However, the biggest thorn in Van Aert's side hasn't been his ankle, but the weather, with cold temperatures and snow restricting him to training on the rollers until today.
