Wout van Aert takes cautious approach to cyclocross return in continued recovery from knee injury
Briefly

Kris Van der Mieren, Belgian Cycling's team doctor, states that 'speeding up or forcing the recovery is completely out of the question' for Wout van Aert as he rehabs from his knee injury.
Van der Mieren confirmed that while Van Aert's recovery is on track, he still needs to focus on building strength, especially through running, which benefits cyclists significantly.
Van Aert may debut his season at the World Cup rounds post-recovery, but Van der Mieren emphasizes the importance of not rushing back, particularly due to the demands of cyclocross.
Doctor Van der Mieren notes, 'It has been sufficiently proven that running is an added value for cyclists. It is the best power stimulus you can give your muscles.'
