“I want to thank all the medical staff for taking such good care of me and I want to thank everyone for their moral support,” said Vingegaard, who highlighted all the messages of support and gifts he has received during his time hospitalized.
The Dane was one of the cyclists most affected by the fall during the fourth stage of the Itzulia on April 4. The accident caused him to fracture his collarbone and several ribs, in addition to leaving him with a collapsed lung and a muscle contusion. This in a mishap that affected a dozen more runners, including two other big favorites: the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, leader at that time, and the Belgian Remco Evenepoel.
