Until five runners from different teams were forced to abandon the Vuelta a Burgos raceafter the massive fall that affected several runners 500 meters from the finish line of Villadiego, which also caused more abrasions and cuts that have not yet been examined this Thursday in the third stage of the Burgos round.
The German Jannik Steinlefrom Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, has been transferred to the hospital and will not participate in the third stage, because he broke his right clavicle and this Thursday he will travel to Herentals, where he will undergo surgery.
your italian partner David Ballerini he suffered several scratches and a bruise on the right buttock; and will be examined this Thursday before the start to know his condition and make a decision about his participation in the race.
In Caja Rural, the Spanish David Gonzalez he suffered a dislocated elbow after being taken to the hospital after being ejected in several falls; and his Venezuelan teammate Orlius Aular arrived at the finish line with severe pain in his wrist and after passing the appropriate medical tests it was found that he was suffering from a scaphoid fracture.
Both are pending more tests to evaluate a possible intervention, so they decided to abandon the race to begin their recovery period.
The French won’t come out either Damien Touzé and Clement Berthet, of the AG2R Citroën Team. The former was one of the most affected in the fall, as he suffered a head injury followed by a concussion; and he had to be treated by the race medical team and transferred to the University Hospital of Burgos by ambulance, conscious all the time.
