Kevin Geniets suffers fractured wrist after crash on the final stage of Paris-Nice
CyclingWednesday, 13 March 2024 at 13:00
After he crashed on the final stage of Paris-Nice and abandoned the race on Sunday, Groupama-FDJ have confirmed that Kevin Geniets has suffered a fractured wrist and will be out of action for an unknown period of time.
Geniets fell on the descent of the Côte de Châteauneuf with around 65km to go in a crash that also involved Carlos Rodríguez and Santiago Buitrago. The Colombian rider also abandoned the race after he had already hit the deck earlier in the week.
The Luxembourger had a strong start to the season, winning the Grand Prix La Marseillaise in his opening race. Now forced to sit on the sidelines for what will probably be a few weeks, Geniets will likely miss several Classics races, where he would have played an important role for his French team. This will also disrupt his preparation for some of the bigger races later in the season, which could possibly hinder his chances of selection.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
