“Koen broke his right collarbone,” Team Argos-Shimano physician, Edwin Achterberg, explains. “He underwent an X-ray at the hospital, and now we’ll try to get him back to the Netherlands for an operation as soon as possible.”
The Dutch rider will now have to take at break from racing while recovering.
“I knew the final kilometers of today’s stage were pretty tricky. We were in the front to prepare the sprint for John Degenkolb. A few riders, including me, went down 900 meters from the finish, and I immediately felt that there was something wrong with my right shoulder. Unfortunately, this is part of cycling. I will now fully focus on my recovery in order to get back in the saddle as soon as possible,” he says.
