2025’s nightmare year isn’t done with Robert Gesink yet

Gesink shared a series of photos from the small Pyrenean country, explaining that he picked up the injury during the winter.

“A tough winter in Andorra — and as if 2025 wasn’t hard enough, a small ski mistake just before Christmas had big consequences and a wrecked knee,” wrote Gesink, who lost his wife Daisy at a far too young age last year after a short illness.

As always, Gesink refuses to be knocked down. “But here we are — two months later — and I can almost walk without crutches again,” he wrote proudly.

Following surgery, he is already back training on the bike. “After more hours of indoor training, physio and exercises than ever, the first metres outside felt like a huge relief! For now, I’m sticking to cycling and après-ski,” Gesink concluded.
