Deceuninck-QuickStep confirmed that Honoré will take a few days off the bike to recover from the accident before resuming training.

"Mikkel has severe muscle pain and abrasions. He will rest for a few days before getting back on the bike. We all wish him a speedy recovery!"

He commented on social media Thursday evening that he feels lucky to be free of any major injuries.

"I was hit by a car during a training run and then drove off. I feel it is time to pay more attention to safety so we can better share these beautiful roads. I can't thank Alice Gasparini (Eurotarget-Bianchi-Vittoria race driver) enough for helping me after the accident.
