Egan Bernal, the Colombian Champion and former Tour de France winner, crashed in the final stages of Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior, causing him to abandon the race. He suffered injuries that may include a fractured collarbone and was transported to a hospital for evaluation. This incident comes after a period of recovery and competitive comeback for Bernal, who had previously considered retiring from cycling due to life-threatening injuries sustained in a 2022 accident. Clásica Jaén marked his first European race this season, with plans for further competitions ahead.
“Following a crash in the final stages of #ClasicaJaen, @Eganbernal was transported to a local hospital. Our team doctor is currently with him.”
“Bernal had considered giving up his professional cycling career following the accident in which he rode head-first into a stopped city bus while training.”
