A fall in which he hit his face and injured his wrist, which according to the initial examinations carried out yesterday, Vingegaard could have broken or fractured, so the doctors of Visma-Lease a Bike have decided that the cyclist should not continue in Paris-Nice where he held the second position in the general classification despite the suffering at the end of the stage where he lost ground at the beginning of the final climb.

Now the Danish rider will undergo a thorough examination to determine the exact extent of his injuries and if he can be ready for his next scheduled event on the calendar, the Volta a Catalunya which will take place starting on the 24th, that is, a little over a week.

The Visma-Lease a Bike team is not left orphaned after yesterday's stage, which was tremendously fruitful for the team. In Paris-Nice, Matteo Jorgenson crossed the finish line in third position and took over the lead of the general classification from the Danish rider. Less than an hour earlier, Olav Kooij clearly won the sprint after a tough stage at Tirreno-Adriatico.
