Vingegaard was the most injured in the fall, as he remained on the ground for several minutes, while he was evacuated in an ambulance, which took him to the nearest hospital.
“We have to look at the issue of rib fractures. The clavicle thing is not so much of a problem today, but the other thing is. That should give him about two months to get back in training shape and there are two and a few months left until the Tour,” he told TIME the doctor of the Boyacá cycling teams, Camilo Pardo.
And he added: “Recovery is not so easy, since the issue of breathing must be included, with therapies. Furthermore, the pain is very strong. He can make it to the Tour, but his preparation will be affected and it will not be known what condition he will be in.”
Pardo indicated that the problem would be if the issue of the ribs affected the lung, as happens in reality.
“It would require much more control and the disability would spread, since it is a slower evolution,” he said.
