Seff Van Kerckhove is officially out of both the junior time trial and road race at the 2026 UCI Road World Championships. This is the second time in nine months a car has put him in hospital with vertebral fractures.
December 29, 2025: hit by a car in Belgium, four vertebral fractures, four months out of racing. April to September: 11 wins with Decathlon CMA-CGM U19, back-to-back Giro della Lunigiana titles, arrival in Montréal as the junior TT favourite. Sunday: hit head-on by a car turning into a driveway, his hands on the extensions instead of the brakes. Two collisions, one rider, same injury.
