Colombian rider Egan Bernal is “stable” after he was taken to hospital following a crash in training, his Ineos Grenadiers team have confirmed.
Bernal, who won the 2019 Tour de France and last year’s Giro d’Italia, was training near his hometown in Colombia.
“He was accompanied to hospital by team medical staff and was conscious upon arrival,” a statement from the British Ineos team said.
“He is stable and undergoing further assessment.”
A photo shared on social media showed the Ineos Grenadiers rider on his back on the ground behind a bus that was halfway in the travel lane. The bus was pictured with a heavily-dented rear bumper and panel.
The 25-year-old recently extended his contract with Ineos Grenadiers to 2026.
