UAE rider Baroncini is stable but remains in an induced coma since stage 3 crash in Poland
One of the worst affected in the crash that forced a brief neutralisation of stage 3 of the Tour of Poland was Filippo Baroncini of UAE Team Emirates-XRG. The 24-year-old Italian was taken immediately to a nearby hospital to treat a suspected broken collarbone, fractured cervical vertebrae and multiple injuries to his face. His team has since revealed that their rider is in a stable condition, but was placed in an induced coma.
"He didn't sustain any damage to any vital organs in the fall, Filippo's life is not in danger," Mauro Gianetti relayed what doctors at the Walbrzych hospital said in quotes gathered by Tuttobiciweb. "Our rider is in an induced coma. The doctors have placed him in deep sedation, and his condition is stable."
Baroncini will travel back to Italy in the coming days where he will receive further surgery for his injuries.
