NOS.nl later updated her condition, stating she has a "severe concussion and three fractures to her spine". Although she must spend the night in intensive care, her coaches and staff are with her and report she is still co🍨nscious and coherent.
The 33-year-old was in the ꦦlead of the road race, heading for a potential gold medal with a 30 second lead on Mara Abbott (𝔉USA) on the technical, damp descent.
Like Vincenzo Nibali and Sergio Henao in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:men's race one ❀day prior☂, van Vleuten crashed on the descent, but rather than slide out, she cartwheeled into the curb in a dramatic fashion.
Her teammate Anna van der Breggen went on to claim gold over Sweden's Emma Johansson and Elisa Longo Borghini (Italy). Read the full race report, here.
