Jan Christen, who had started 2025 as a protagonist, is now forced to stop for a while due to an injury. The 20-year-old Swiss rider from UAE Team Emirates – XRG, winner of the Trofeo Calvia in Spain at the end of January and the second stage of the Volta ao Algarve about ten days ago, did not complete the Faun-Ardèche Classic yesterday due to a crash.

Instrumental examinations revealed a fracture of his right collarbone. The Emirates team has communicated that today Christen will return to Switzerland to evaluate whether surgical intervention will be necessary.
