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.
"After further discussions with a specialist, Jonas will require surgery to fix his collarbone. He is in great shape and remains highly motivated for the Tour de France, but we all accept that the chances of him being on the start line in Lille are very small," a team spokesperson told Escape Collective.
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
- Søren 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, Uno-X Mobility told Escape Collective that his replacement will come from one of four reserve riders: Fredrik Dversnes, Johannes Kulset, Rasmus Tiller, and Alexander Kristoff, the team’s veteran star who is racing his final season.
