A medical update has been released regarding Nicolas Vennekens. The Belgian rider has been diagnosed with a bacterial infection, for which he has now started a course of antibiotics.

The positive news is that glandular fever has been ruled out, something that had previously been considered a possibility. Nicolas hopes that the infection is the cause of his symptoms, allowing him to return to training soon after his recovery.

For now, the main focus is fully on recovery, with the hope that he will soon be fit enough to get back on the bike.
