Cyclist Yoica (29) underwent amputation after a serious traffic accident and is still recovering: “That foot will not grow back, but I can do something about that wheelchair”

“Someone brought me a stone from the top of Mont Ventoux. I will put that stone back there myself.” Nine months ago, cyclist Yoica De Kock (29) from Sint-Gillis-Waas lost her foot in a serious traffic accident. Today, in her room at the rehab center, a pair of new fashionable pants hangs waiting for her to wear on her way out. “It’s starting to dawn on me more and more what was taken from me. That’s why I’m fighting back so hard.”
