During the 13th Stage of the Tour de France, Trek-Segafredo co-leader Bauke Mollema was involved in a crash that also involved AG2R La Mondiale leader Romain Bardet. Initially he was transported to the race ambulance, then move to a helicopter to be airlifted to Clermont Ferrand Hospital where he underwent X-rays that confirmed a suspected broken left wrist.
Trek-Segafredo physician Gaetano Daniele: “Bauke has sustained a complex fracture of his left wrist: a fracture of the radius and ulnar bones as well as a scaphoid fracture. He is still waiting a CT scan to better understand the situation. At the Hospital in Clermond Ferrand they have already reduced the fracture of the radius that was causing pressure on the Median Nerve and a lot of pain for Bauke, but now he’s okay and pain-free. We are just waiting to finish the scans and decide what kind of surgery and when, but normally it must be done soon.”
