TOM DUMOULIN OUT OF TOUR DE FRANCE WITH FRACTURED RADIUS
 
Tom Dumoulin (NED) crashed out of Le Tour de France on today's 19th stage of racing after a crash that took place in the bunch.

"Tom has fractured his radius in his left forearm," explained team physician Stephan Jacolino (FRA). "It's a clean fracture and further examinations have shown no additional fracture of the wrist joint, which is good news. Tom will have further tests in the Netherlands to determine if surgery is required to stabilise the fracture and to make a treatment plan."

Dumoulin said: "It's a huge setback. After the crash I instantly knew it was bad news. Luckily it is a clean fracture. As a precaution I have a cast but I can't ride a bike with it. If I need to keep this for two weeks, then my participation in Rio will be difficult."

"Tomorrow I go back to the Netherlands and we can see how we proceed. I really hope I will be ready for the Olympics. At the moment there is too little information to say anything more about that objective."

Coach Marc Reef (NED) added: "We are very disappointed about the situation, for Tom and for the whole team. Tom's Tour was already very successful but this injury is a big setback towards Rio. Now we have to see what our options are to be able to make the best possible plan for the next weeks."

The team wishes Dumoulin a speedy recovery.
