Tour de France Drama: Van Aert and Jorgenson's High-Stakes Crash

During the second stage of the Tour de France, Wout van Aert and Matteo Jorgenson, key team members of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, were involved in a crash. Van Aert quickly recovered, while Jorgenson needed medical attention for a bruised elbow. Laurens de Plus also fell during the 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. Jorgenson went to the medical car to have a bruised elbow bandaged by a race doctor.

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.
