Jonas Abrahamsen breaks collarbone, likely ruling out Tour de France start
The Tour de France participation of Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) is in serious doubt, following a fractured collarbone at the Baloise Belgium Tour.
"Examinations and scans at the local hospital have confirmed that Jonas Abrahamsen has suffered a fractured collarbone after the fall on the first stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour," a statement from the team read. "He will be assessed by a shoulder specialist and a plan will be put in place to help him recover as quickly as possible."
The Norwegian rider was one of the sensations of the 2024 Tour de France, courtesy of a mind-boggling 1,948 km in breakaways throughout the race – including 140 km solo on stage 8.
Uno-X Mobility was the first team to release its full Tour de France lineup on Monday, with a list comprising:
- Magnus Cort
- Soren Wærenskjold
- Andreas Leknessund
- Tobias Halland Johannessen
- Anders Halland Johannessen
- Jonas Abrahamsen
- Markus Hoelgaard
- Stian Fredheim
In the event that Abrahamsen is unable to recover in time, his replacement is likely to come from one of three riders: Fredrik Dversnes, Johannes Kulset and Alexander Kristoff, the team’s veteran star who is racing his final season.
