🎥 Jonathan Milan avoids fractures after UAE Tour crash, but Tuesday start still uncertain

Milan went down behind Soudal Quick-Step sprinter and fellow Italian Alberto Dainese, who hit the deck in the final corner. The powerful Milan had nowhere to go and also came down, with Jarrad Drizners (Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe) and Tudor leader Michael Storer among those involved as well.

After the stage — won by Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates–XRG) — Lidl–Trek provided an initial medical update.

“Fortunately, an initial medical assessment after the first stage of the UAE Tour did not reveal any fractures, but Jonny’s injuries — particularly to his right hand, left elbow and hip, and right knee — will be monitored this evening and in the lead-up to tomorrow’s second stage,” the team said.

Milan’s crash is the latest setback for Lidl–Trek, who have already seen several riders hit the deck this season — including Mads Pedersen, who shared a worrying medical update earlier on Monday.
