A major fall took place 127 kilometers from the finish on the Tour of Flanders. In this incident, several runners hit a young girl, Anke Sneyers, from Meldert. The supporter was still quite seriously injured, she suffered a serious concussion, a head injury with multiple stitches and a broken collarbone. “It might have been much worse,” explained Thomas, his brother at Het Niewsblad.
This young man is a former young cyclist and still active in the world of cycling since he works in the marketing department of the Alpecin-Deceuninck cycling team. He felt obliged to respond to the numerous messages incriminating his sister on social networks.
“We have been in cycling with the whole family for years, we have ridden in the peloton or we have been in contact with him daily as part of our work. Anke stood neatly away from the race, on the side of the road. The prosecution is currently conducting an investigation in which several witnesses – including the paramedics who followed the platoon – have clearly indicated that the fall was not caused by her, but by another spectator who stood on the road, forcing the riders to swerve and thus hit Anke. To all Internet heroes: next time, think twice, because before you know it, it’s happening to someone you care regarding,” Thomas continued to Het Niewsblad.
The victim is actually active in the world of sport. She is a well-known and very promising G-Athlete. She is the Belgian long jump champion and has already been in several sprint disciplines in the past. In June, the European Championships were normally on the program and Anke is also still in the running to participate in the Paralympics. “She already called me. She is completely devastated. It is all the more difficult for her because she suffers from a mental disability. »

But his injuries risk disrupting his plans. The young girl has already been able to leave the hospital but will have to go there once more next week for a check-up and an operation cannot be ruled out.
