🎥 Husband of Tour de France winner Niewiadoma shares medical update on injured Polish rider

Niewiadoma, racing for Canyon//SRAM, was well-positioned when she suddenly found herself against the guardrail. Her teammates were visibly concerned about the condition of their team leader, who remained on the ground and was unable to continue. A few other riders crashed into Niewiadoma, but they were able to remount and continue.

Her husband, Taylor Phinney—a former professional cyclist—provided a medical update on social media. "Kasia is OK; she only has some abrasions and pain in her head. Fortunately, I was just two kilometers away from the crash and managed to get there in time to go with her in the ambulance to the hospital. They are doing precautionary X-rays. She’s feeling fine, but she’s definitely frustrated that she couldn’t race."

A little later, a breakaway formed, including Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who was the designated leader for Visma | Lease a Bike. The Frenchwoman, known for her technical skills from mountain biking, misjudged a turn while descending and crashed onto the asphalt. However, she quickly got back on her feet and was able to continue into the finale.
