Ronde van Polen | Jakobsen zwaargewond na crash in 1e etappe

De operatie duurde 5 uur en verliep zonder complicaties. De conditie van Jakobsen is stabiel en hij verblijft nu op de intensive care. Later wordt bekeken of we hem uit zijn kunstmatige coma kunnen halen en kan verder beoordeeld worden hoe hij eraan toe is. -Doctor Paweł Gruenpeter, assistant director in St. Barbara Hospital in Sosnowiec

Our rider was involved in a crash that took place inside the final meters of the Tour de Pologne’s opening stage. Fabio Jakobsen’s situation is serious but at the moment he is stable. Diagnostic test didn’t reveal brain or spinal injury, but because of the gravity of his multiple injuries he is still kept in a comatose condition and has to remain closely monitored in the following days at the Wojewódzki Szpital in Katowice. Further information will be made available in the course of the coming hours. Meanwhile, we would like to thank you for your heartwarming support. - Deceuninck-Quickstep
