Emanuel Buchmann's BORA - hansgrohe stint may have ended - Broken hip and collarbone after Tour de Suisse crash
Cycling
Emanuel Buchmann had a fall out with BORA - hansgrohe and now had a rough fall in what was his last race day with the German national champion's jersey. Buchmann crashed yesterday during stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse and has suffered severe injuries as a result.
It is a nightmare situation for the German climber. He had been working towards the Giro d'Italia this year and looked to reach very good form just before the race, but was replaced in the lineup leading to great discontent.
"I cannot describe my disappointment and frustration be not nominated for the Giro d'Italia this year," he had written at the time. "All year was planed for the Giro and even BORA - hansgrohe promised me the Co-Leadership for the GC." Right after, Buchmann raced the Tour de Hongrie where he finished second in the overall classification only behind an impressive Thibau Nys.
It was speculated at the time that Buchmann could possibly not race anymore in the team's jersey, but that was ultimately not the case. He raced the GP des Kantons Aargau and was an outsider for the overall classification in Suisse - where he was BORA's best card. He crashed with under 2 kilometers ago on stage 2, and the consequences were quite harsh.
"Medical update following the crash of Emanuel Buchmann - definitely not the news we were hoping for:
Examinations have revealed a broken collarbone & a broken hip. He‘ll need to undergo surgery for both injuries," the team shared on social media. "We’re wishing Emu all the best and a swift recovery!"
With four months to the end of the season, this is a huge hit for the 31-year old's ambitions for the rest of the season. It has seemed pretty clear that the team will opt not to choose him to another Grand Tour, but regardless there were races where he could aim for a result. As a result of the broken hip, there is no telling how long recovery will take - and how this will affect his chances of remaining in a World Tour team.

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
