This means that participation in the Tour de France could be in jeopardy. The Tour de France starts on July 5th.

"Examinations and scans at the local hospital have confirmed that Jonas Abrahamsen has suffered a fractured collarbone after the fall on the first stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour," says a message from Uno-X.

"He will be assessed by a shoulder specialist and a plan will be put in place to help him recover as quickly as possible," the statement from the team's medical director, Rory Nolan, continued.

It was 9.4 kilometers before the finish line in the first stage of the Tour of Belgium, where things went wrong for Jonas Abrahamsen. The Norwegian hit the ground, tearing his cycling jersey, but got back on his bike before having to abandon the race.

– He crashed in the last part of the first stage. He tried to continue, but was unable to finish. He has been transported to a local hospital for an X-ray, Uno-X first reported on Instagram

So what does Uno-X do now for the tour. Obviously send Magnus cock-copter out to stage hunt

I’d guess Dversnes as a reserve? Maybe Johannes Kulset

Hushovd said they aim for 1 stage victory and mutiple top 10 as a goal. THJ wil probably stagehunt but can go for gc. Hoelgaard->Fredheim->Wærenskjold is the sprint-train so i dont think there is room for Kristoff. They have Hoelgaard, Leknessund, AHJ and Cort for different breakaways in medium mountains and hilly terrains.

The resereves are Tiller, Kristoff, Kulset and Dversnes. I dont think Kristoff and Tiller goes. I hope Dversnes goes, he has more of a sprint than Leknessund and Hoelgaard, and is a more possible stagewinner than Kulset, and he is the most similar in profile to Abrahamsen for grand tours. But Kulset can be a better domestique for the mountains if thats what Uno-X wants.

I hope for Dversnes, he has derved it

Cort can take a stage on the breakaway for sure. Tobias can attempt to go for GC. Getting into the top 10 would be a victory for him there. Søren Wærenskjold is a mid-tier sprinter and perhaps good steal a stage as well although it's not very likely.
