Aasebo was not the only victim. Amber van der Hulst (VolkerWessels) was also left motionless, but she escaped with relatively less serious injuries. "Amber landed heavily on her head and briefly lost consciousness, after which she was taken to hospital. The initial scans there looked good."
Bossuyt shared an update via social media. "Fortunately I have no serious injuries, just some bruises and road rash. But this is not how I imagined my cobbled spring ending. I had to abandon after a heavy crash. I will need some time to recover. I wish everyone involved a speedy recovery."

Chloé Dygert cleared to leave hospital

Many TV viewers were also worried about Chloé Dygert. According to the race medical report, the American withdrew from the race with shoulder pain. The team announced on X after the race that Dygert was "assessed for leg and shoulder pain, and cleared to go home following the race. The team doctor will continue to monitor her recovery."
