Steff Cras fractured an elbow at the 2023 Criterium du Dauphiné and only weeks after abandoned the Tour de France after colliding with a fan. Unfortunately for the
TotalEnergies rider his bad luck has not ended; he suffered very extensive injuries after falling at high-speed at
Itzulia Basque Country today alongside the likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel and others.
"After further examination, Steff Cras suffers from a right pneumothorax, several associated rib fractures and two dorsal vertebral fractures, in addition to several hematomas, wounds and dermabrasions," TotalEnergies shared in a message. "Our rirder will remain hospitalized for a few days."
