June 19 : Slovenian cyclist Urska Zigart suffered a fractured jaw following a crash in the final kilometre of stage two of the Tour de Suisse Femmes in Locarno on Thursday, her team AG Insurance-Soudal said.
The 29-year-old lost control at speed on a road hump and crashed heavily, sliding several metres along the tarmac and remaining motionless for a period after the fall.
“After undergoing several medical assessments, Urska has been diagnosed with a fractured jaw. Fortunately, no other injuries were detected during the examinations,” the team said.
“The team’s medical staff are currently evaluating the next steps required to ensure Urska receives the best possible treatment and recovery process. At this stage, our primary focus is on her health and wellbeing.”
Zigart was conscious following the incident, Slovenian media reported, as she spoke to compatriot and four-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar, who is competing in the men’s race and leads the general classification after two stages.
