A frightening crash in the final stages of today's Tour de Suisse stage with finish in Locarno, involved Urška Žigart and other athletes. As documented by images published on social media by Ticinoonline, the 29-year-old Slovenian from AG Insurance - Soudal Team lost control of her bicycle as the group was passing at high speed over a speed bump placed right under the inflatable arch at the final kilometer.
The athlete rolled across the asphalt and several colleagues fell behind her. Urska was assisted and, according to what was indicated by AG Insurance - Soudal, she is undergoing thorough clinical examinations.
Around 4:00 PM the Belgian team issued a press release to reassure about Urska's condition, who suffered a fractured jaw.
