Wout van Aert is expected to begin cyclocross racing at the end of the month but the Belgian Cycling team doctor has advised that the former world champion will take a cautious approach while he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained in a crash at the Vuelta a España in September.
In an interview with HLN, Belgian Cycling's team doctor Kris Van der Mieren emphasised that "speeding up or forcing the recovery is completely out of the question".
