On the same day Tour de France leader Jonas Vingegaard’s teammate Primož Roglič abandoned due to injuries from a previous crash, more troubles struck his team as Steven Kruijswijk crashed on stage 15 and is out of the race.
The Dutchman fell along with Team DSM’s Martin Tusveld and was taken off the course with a suspected fractured collarbone.
The team’s fortunes continued to descend into chaos just 7km later when Vingegaard came down in a crash with teammate Tiesj Benoot.
Vingegaard got up and took a new bike and chased back on along with Christophe Laporte, Sepp Kuss and Nathan Van Hooydonck but was shaken.
The Dane leads the race by 2:22 over UAE Team Emirates’ Tadej Pogačar but is now missing two important helpers for the upcoming stages in the Pyrenees.
More to come.
