Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard suffered a broken collarbone and several broken ribs after being involved in a 'nasty crash' during Stage 4 of the Itzulia Basque Country in Spain, his team confirmed on social media Thursday. Several other riders were also badly injured. The two-time defending Tour de France champion was taken to the hospital after multiple riders were involved in a crash less than 19 miles from the finish line.
Team Visma provided an update on X that Vingegaard, 27, was conscious and en route to the hospital. He was reportedly wearing an oxygen mask and neck brace and was hardly moving as he was placed into the ambulance. In their latest update, Team Visma shared that Vingegaard was stable but had sustained a number of serious injuries. 'It was a nasty crash, but fortunately he is stable and conscious,' the update reads.
Among those six was eventual winner Louis Meintjes of the Intermarché Wanty team, who said after the stage that he was thinking of those that were injured. 'It’s a sad day,' he said.
