**Sports Doctor Warns Wout Van Aert May Never Ride Professionally Again**
A leading sports doctor has expressed concerns over the future of Belgian cyclist Wout Van Aert, stating that his recent injuries may prevent him from ever competing professionally again. Van Aert, who has established himself as one of the top all-rounders in cycling, suffered severe injuries in a recent accident, leading to growing uncertainty about his career.
The doctor, who specializes in sports rehabilitation, highlighted the severity of Van Aert’s injuries, which include multiple fractures and significant ligament damage. “It’s not just the physical trauma,” the doctor said. “The psychological and emotional toll of recovering from such injuries can be just as damaging, especially for an athlete who relies on both endurance and split-second decisions.”
Van Aert’s team and fans remain hopeful, but the road to recovery will be long and arduous. The doctor noted that even if he recovers physically, there is no guarantee he will regain the full fitness and mental sharpness needed to compete at the highest level. “Cycling is unforgiving. You need to be 100% fit, and even then, a small misstep can lead to another injury.”
As Van Aert begins his recovery process, the cycling world waits anxiously to see if he can defy the odds and return to the sport he has excelled in. For now, his future in professional cycling remains uncertain.
