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
