EF's Mikkel Honoré stable in intensive care after heavy crash
EF Education-EasyPost should have been celebrating after Saturday's 1.1-ranked Heistse Pijl. Young British powerhouse Noah Hobbs took his first pro win in very good conmpany, sharing the podium with Søren Wærenskjold and Milan Fretin, however, the team's thoughts were elsewhere as Mikkel Honoré was taken off the race course in an ambulance.
As of Sunday late morning, the Dane is in a stable condition but remains in intensive care.
"We were involved in several crashes in the final stages, the last one was with Mikkel,” sports director Ken Vanmarcke told WielerFlits at Sunday's Brussels Cycling Classic. "He fell really hard and is still in intensive care at the hospital the day after. Mikkel is stable, but he has broken seven ribs, three vertebrae, and his collarbone. He is also dealing with a collapsed lung. That is quite difficult; it will be a long rehabilitation."
