The race is hotting up at the front on stage 9 of the 2024 Tour de France and the rise in stress levels has seen Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe's Aleksandr Vlasov take a very nasty crash off the road and into a ditch.
Forced towards the edge of the road in the GC group, Vlasov spectacularly went head over heels off the tarmac and into a ditch in a very scary moment. Questionably however, despite the fact he could barely stand up straight and looked visibly dazed, bloodied and possibly showing signs of concussion, the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe mechanic did no concussion check on Vlasov, instead urging him back onto his bike and pushing the wobbly rider back into the race.
