An unusually unlucky period of crashes that has decimated the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:AG2R La Mondiale team elicited a medical report from the team doctor summarising the team's injuries on Monday. Of most concern was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France contender 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Romain Bardet's crash at the Volta a Catalunya on Sunday, while, on the bright side, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oliver Naesen continues to p🎃erform well for the team at the spring Classics.

Bardet was one of the victims of a 70kph down🎀hill crash on the final stage of the Volta a Catalunya on Sun🥃day, and is still waiting to find out whether he may have fractured any ribs, although that likelihood appears to have decreased in the past 2🐭4 hours.

"Romain is sufferi𒈔ng from chest contusion🉐s and many areas of road rash," the team's medical director, Doctor Eric Bouvat, said on Monday.

"He will likely perform an exam on the bike within the next 72 hours, and also probably u♓nderg🎃o a CT scan of his chest to dispel any suspicions of a rib fracture. The rest of his programme will be communicated at a later date."

Bardet's teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tony Gallopin also fell in the same crash, injuring his shoulder, but received some good nཧews on Monday🦩 – although he will miss this coming weekend's Tour of Flanders.

"Tony underwent a left-shoulder x-ray on Monday morning that did not detect a fracture," reported Bouvat. "He'll be resting for fou🐭r days, and won't participate in the Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday or Flanders on Sunday."

Further updates from Bouvat included another Catalunya victim, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Axel Domont, who crꦫashed on Friday's fifth stage, fracturing both his🌃 hip and collarbone.

"He'll be immobilised ജfor three weeks, and shoul📖d be able to resume training on the road in 10 weeks," said Bouvat.

A crash at Tirreno-Adriatico for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexis Vuillermoz, where he injured his hamstring, has continued to keep him from training, while there's better news on Swiss rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathias Frank, who's on the road to recovery af♔ter hitting his head in a crash on the penultimat✤e stage of Paris-Nice.

B♔✨ouvat reported that Frank had resumed training three days ago and was set to return to racing at the Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco on April 8.

Meanwhile, last year's best young rider at the Tour de France, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Latour, fractured both his wrists 🤪in a training crash in late February, but has now been able to resume riding on his home trainer.

"An examination on April 15 will determine whe♏n he will be able to resume training on the 𝓀road," said Bouvat.

"The AG2R La Mondiale team has certainly not been spared by crashes and hea𓂃lth problems, and we hope this unfortunate time will come to an end," he added.

"It's always difficult for a manager to see his riders physicalꦡly injured," said AG2R general manager Vincent Lavenu on the tea💝m's website. "We know they all have great will and determination, and we hope to see them again soon on the bike.

😼"Fortunately, the group of Classics riders with Oliver Naesen has brought us great satisfaction, and w♛e hope to again experience some more beautiful emotions in the coming weeks."

Naesen's run of good results continued at Gent-Wevelgem on ꦕSunday, where the Belgian took third place behind winner Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) and John Degenkolb (Trek-Segafredo), having taken eighth place at the E3 BinckBank♔ Classic the previous week.

The 28-year-old also fi✤nished second✱ at Milan-San Remo to Deceuninck-QuickStep's Julian Alaphilippe on March 23, and Naesen now heads to the Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday and the Tour of Flanders on Sunday, hoping to continue his run of good results.
