The team reported that Valgren had suffered a fracture in the pelvis, aswell as a dislocated hip and a possible knee injury after the stage. Reports indicate that the Dane crashed down a ravine whilst descending, and Israel - Premier Tech rider Taj Jones stopped and brought the accident into attention of the race convoy.
