During the Itzulia Basque Country cycling race, a mass crash involving top cyclists, including two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard, led to the race being halted. Vingegaard, along with Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic, and leading Australian rider Jay Vine, were among those injured in the incident. Vingegaard suffered a broken collarbone and several ribs and was reported to be 'stable and conscious' in the hospital. The accident, which occurred 86 days before the start of the Tour de France, has cast doubt on Vingegaard's ability to defend his title. The crash, described as 'nasty' and occurring at high speed, resulted in the cancellation of the race.
