Still broken collarbone Alejandro Valverde after fall in Vuelta | Cycling

sport">Initially, his team reported that an investigation at a hospital in Alicante had shown that Valverde had not broken anything. “Unfortunately, a second set of tests shows that Alejandro has broken his collarbone,” Movistar said.

sport">Valverde had just attacked from the pack when he slid down a bend and slid into a ravine. The 41-year-old former winner of the Vuelta stood for a long time at the car of the race doctor where doctors examined him. Valverde tried again, but soon squeezed the brakes anyway. Emotionally he got off the bike. The Spaniard was fourth in the general classification, 41 seconds behind red jersey wearer Primoz Roglic.
