Oh no. Nasty crash for Tim Merlier. Not the way he wanted to end the year, surely. Let's hope he's ok. #Crelan #Charles #AimHigher #all4goolie #SPDiegem #Diegem SuperprestigeCX #Superprestige2019

🏁 16th place for @stangodrie. "I had to dig really deep today. I don't think I recovered well after my last race." #Crelan #Charles #AimHigher #all4goolie #SPDiegem #Diegem SuperprestigeCX #Superprestige2019

Medical update on Tim Merlier: he fell on his upper legs (not ribs!). Hemorrhage, contusion or small muscle tear (at worst) of the left quadriceps. A minor injury according to the doctor at #SPDiegem. 1/2 #crelan #charles SuperprestigeCX #Superprestige2019

Tim is in some pain, understandably, and will have to take it easy the coming days. It's unclear now when he can race again. Baal (1/1) is too soon. 2/2 #Crelan #Charles #AimHigher #all4goolie #SPDiegem #Diegem SuperprestigeCX #Superprestige2019

In a 1st reaction Tim Merlier said he felt bad to end the year like this: "I was doing well in the race. After my crash I wanted to get on my bike again asap, but as I didn't feel my legs that was impossible. I had to drag myself to the side." Speedy recovery, Tim! 💪 #SPDiegem

Our last race in green, pictured by #Kramon. 🙏 Thank you all for the memories! 🔜 2019, here we come! @Roompot_Charles #crelan #charles #aimhigher #all4goolie #spdiegem

⚠️Update on Tim Merlier: no diagnose from the ultrasound because of the blood over his quadriceps. On Wed. he'll have an MRI exam. There's a big chance he'll have to skip Gullegem & Brussels. As from tomorrow, his new team Creafin-TÜV SÜD will provide the updates. Good luck, Tim!
