Omega Pharma-Quick Step Cycling Team rider Tony Martin crashed during the final kilometers of Tour de France stage 1 on Saturday.
He finished the race, but after the finish he was transported to the General Hospital of Bastia, where he passed a few examinations. The CT scan excluded fractures. However, he has a concussion and a contusion on his left lung. He also has soft tissue damages on his hip, chest, left knee and shoulder, and also on his back. Furthermore, he has a very deep wound 5cm wide on his left elbow that reaches his muscles, which causes a lot of pain and a problem moving his arm. Tony Martin will join the rest of the team tonight after today's examinations.
Any decision on his participation at the second stage of the Tour de France will be taken after considering how the clinical situation evolves during the night.
