BOGOTA: Colombian rider Egan Bernal crashed during training on Monday and was taken to a hospital where he will undergo surgery, the clinic and his Ineos Grenadiers team said.
The winner of the 2019 Tour de France and last year’s Giro d’Italia was at a team training camp in Gachansipa, about 50km north of Bogota, when he hit a stationary bus, the Sabana University Clinic said.
The clinic said Bernal had “injuries to the chest, neck, muscles and legs.”
The 25-year-old was taken to hospital by Ineos Grenadiers medical staff and was “conscious upon arrival”, the British team said in a brief statement.
Bernal recently extended his contract with Ineos Grenadiers until 2026.
