Tom van Steenbergen Injured but Plans to Make Rampage (Updated with Recovery Prognosis)
Tom van Steenbergen shared on Instagram that he separated his shoulder and sustained a concussion front flipping off a drop. The video shows him making it around to his wheels but continuing to rotate and bouncing forward over the bars onto his shoulder, back, and head.
 | Fronty drops will never get easy… Not sure exactly what happened here but I ended up with a good concussion and separated shoulder. I’ll be back in no time!! |
In the comments, he said he'll be back on the bike long before Rampage and fully expects to compete.
When asked about his prognosis, Tom said his concussion symptoms have already disappeared after a few days and he hopes his shoulder will be healed in about four weeks.
| My helmet was cracked so it definitely did its job and saved my brain... I’m doing everything I can to get healed up in time to prepare myself for Rampage. |
We hope Tom's recovery goes smoothly and we look forward to seeing him back in action. We'll update this article if we hear anything else from him.
