Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider Tom Boonen had an unfortunate crash at 19 km that forced him to give up his dream of winning the Ronde van Vlaanderen for a record fourth time on Sunday. He was transported to the hospital of Roeselare for further examinations.
“Boonen has a contusion at his left hip, as well as a wound on his left elbow. He also has a contusion and a wound on his right knee that required a few stitches, according to Tegner. X-rays showed no fractures,” says an official statement on the team website about Boonen’s state.
