A terrible fall, the winner is fighting for his life! For this, the opponent should go to jail, the team boss thunders

“He is in great danger of his life. He lost a lot of blood. Let’s hope we win this fight. The next night will be decisive,” race doctor Barbara Jerschin told Polish media. Later in the evening, more optimistic news came. Jakobsen has no significant hematoma, the vertebrae are undamaged and his condition is stabilized.

Cyclists aimed at the destination with a slight descent at a speed of up to 80 km / h. Groenewegen also ended up on the ground, who was subsequently additionally disqualified from first place, and Jakobsen was declared the winner. A knocked down photographer also suffered a serious injury. The finish line provided an image of total destruction.

The end of the stage totally amazed everyone. “It was a crime from Groenewegen. He should go to jail for that,” said Patrick Lefevere, head of Jakobsen’s Deceuninck-Quick-Step team. According to the Polish media, the accident will be dealt with by the relevant public prosecutor’s office. Groenewegen’s actions were condemned by the International Cycling Union (UCI) and announced that it had referred the case to the Disciplinary Board.

Twenty-three-year-old Jakobsen was unconsciously transported by helicopter to a hospital in Sosnowiec, where he underwent surgery. Shocked by the Polish media, they wish that all participants in the terrible fall survive. It is written about the massacre.

After threatening moments, Groenewegen, the driver of the Jumbo – Visma team, sat alone in a torn leotard just behind the place designated for decoration for the winner. The ceremony was canceled. The Dutchman did not speak to anyone and still hid his face in his hands.

Representatives of Jakobsen’s team have already announced that they will sue Groenewegen and want him to be excluded from cycling forever.

No one from the police wanted to comment on whether the cyclist could be accused of causing a terrible fall. However, the police allegedly carefully secured all traces of the incident.

Paradoxically, the accident occurred exactly one year after the 22-year-old Belgian Bjorg Lambrecht, who crashed into a concrete culvert in the third stage, died after falling in the same race.

The entire peloton commemorated his memory before the start of today’s stage, which measured almost 200 kilometers.

The duel of elite sprinters was for Demar
