Great Britain's Ethan Vernon injured after crash during Spanish training camp
Cycling
Israel - Premier Tech have taken on their first team training camp now in December but it was not all fun and games for every rider on the 'Costa Blanca'. British sprinter Ethan Vernon leaves Spain with a fractured collarbone after coming down during a training ride.
The Israeli team shared the following message on social media this morning: "Following a crash during the team's training camp in Spain, Ethan Vernon underwent surgery on a left collarbone fracture on Wednesday morning. The surgery was a success and Ethan has since been discharged from hospital".
"We wish him a speedy return back to full health and look forward to seeing him continue his preparations for the 2025 season". This injury will certainly affect the start of the season for the 24-year old who will likely miss out on a few weeks of training out on the road. It shouldn't be dramatic towards his spring and summer goals however.
Vernon has gained a position of leadership in the team after signing straight from Soudal - Quick-Step, and has this year won stages at the Tour des Alpes Maritimes, and most recently at the World Tour-level Tour of Guangxi where he was the winner of the points classification - he was also the winner of this classification at the Tour of Britain.

- yes, the prior preparation must be rational and precise, but the races have so many dynamic variables, they are chaotic. Jonas and Tadej have different styles in responding to the situations. Tadej is flexible and very reactive on his own, more instinctive . Jonas' style is passive, static, he sticks to the previous plan and waits for instructions before modifying it, more calculated.

- I’m guessing it is every cyclists style. as it every successful persons style. success in life is not left to random chancemij10-03-2025
- Jonas isn't robotic enough for me. Keris Vroom is still the best on this matter. He always looks at his computer and ride to the power.

- I'm with you. Grand Tour GC would be much less interesting with only one of Tadej and Jonas. Right now, no one else comes close.Evan10-03-2025
- So, it is true then that Tadej wants to compete in the hell of the north. His boss is the one who's asking him to defer.KerisVroom10-03-2025
- It doesn’t help that the translation into English isn’t done by native speakers but then few native English speakers know other languages well enough to translate ;-)Mistermaumau09-03-2025

- Sometimes I really think that things get lost in translation. Every little detail of a riders season, preparation, and racing tactics is carefully calculated to provide optimum performance. Of course, how one feels on the bike is something that needs to be added to the overall equation as well.
