However, on Friday Q36.5 Pro Cycling announced that the 31-year-old would
miss Opening Weekend after sustaining an “injury in an unfortunate incident
with a dog while collecting his daughter earlier this week”.

“He is currently receiving the required medical treatment, and we are
optimistic about his recovery,” the team continued. “Our thoughts are with
Frederik and his family during this time… [We] look forward to seeing him
back in action in the coming weeks.”

Speaking to Het Nieuwsblad (link is external), Frison expanded on the
incident, which took place on Wednesday, and confirmed that he received
surgery later that evening.

“I was visiting acquaintances in the late afternoon when it happened,” he
told the Belgian newspaper.

“The moment I walked in, I was suddenly attacked by the family dog, a
Weimaraner, with painful consequences. After all, the dog bit me in the
private parts. And without going into detail: the damage is quite
extensive.

“The hand is also sewn in two places. That’s because I wanted to defend
myself and tried to push the dog away. Since [yesterday] the pain has
become somewhat bearable. Although sitting and standing up is still
painful.”

“I had surgery straight away on Wednesday evening,” Frison continued.
“Would you please mention urologist Philip Den Hollander of the Sint-Dimpna
Hospital in Geel, because I owe a lot to his good care. He guided me very
well through the operation process. And now during recovery.

“He knows that a cyclist has to sit on a saddle for a long time and
therefore a full recovery is very important. The fact that he immediately
took care of me can only contribute to this.”

It is often said that dogs are very good judges of character.
