Jonas Vingegaard taken to hospital after crash on ThursdayDutchman aiming to successfully defend Paris-Roubaix title
Mathieu van der Poel, who aims to retain his Paris-Roubaix title this weekend, says riders are the main danger when it comes to race safety.
Thursday’s stage four in the Tour of the Basque Country was marred by a horrific crash in which Jonas Vingegaard broke a collarbone and several ribs and also sustained pulmonary contusion and a pneumothorax. The crash happened at a turn on a high-speed descent, and race leader Primoz Roglic was forced to abandon the race, while Remco Evenepoel suffered a fracture to his right collarbone and his right shoulder blade.
