Tour de France Drama: Van Aert & Jorgenson Crash in Stage Two

Wout van Aert and Matteo Jorgenson, teammates of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, crashed during the Tour de France's second stage. Van Aert quickly resumed racing, while Jorgenson took a bit longer but was unhurt. Other racer Laurens de Plus also went down during the same incident.

Wout van Aert and Matteo Jorgenson, two of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard's lieutenants, crashed during the second stage of the Tour de France on Sunday.

Visma-Lease a Bike rider Van Aert of Belgium was back on his bike quickly and gave a thumbs-up to the camera, while it took American Jorgenson, the Paris-Nice winner, a few more seconds to get back into the race, although he appeared unhurt.

The incident, which occurred with about 90 kilometres left in the 199.2-km ride from Cesenatico to Bologna, also saw Ineos-Grenadiers rider Laurens de Plus hit the deck.
