NEVER SEEN BEFORE images of the Jakobsen of quick-step Soudal crash at the tour of Poland 2020.
This insane horror crash where Fabio almost lost his life. We payed attention to different details and have searched for different image to show. Watch also won a stage in the Tour de France against Dylan Groenewegen who rode for Jumbo Visma (now he rides for Team Jayco AlUla)
You can also see the green jersey of the Tour de France – Jasper Philipsen (UAE) now Alpecin Fenix crashing on the tarmac.
A good example of how a setback can make you stronger. Watch his teammates like Senegal and Lampaert encourage him to finish the stage in time.
Dutch cyclist Fabio Jakobsen was put into an induced coma after suffering injuries in a crash on the final stretch of the Tour of Poland.
A massive crash at the finish of the first stage resulted in Dylan Groenewegen‘s disqualification from the race.
Leading a bunch sprint, Groenewegen veered toward the right barrier, pinching countryman Jakobsen, who barreled into the barrier meters from the finish line.
Jakobsen went head over heels, his bike went airborne and the barriers exploded onto the road, causing more cyclists to crash.
Jakobsen was airlifted to a hospital in serious condition and was put into an induced coma.
Doctor Pawel Gruenpeter of the hospital in Sosnowiec said Jakobsen suffered injuries to the head and chest but that his condition was stable at the intensive care unit.
Groenewegen crossed the finish line first but was disqualified, giving Jakobsen the stage win, according to the stage race website.
Groenewegen, a 27-year-old Jumbo-Visma rider, owns four Tour de France stage wins among the last three years.
The International Cycling Union (UCI) “strongly condemned” Groenewegen’s “dangerous” and “unacceptable” behavior. It referred Groenewegen’s actions to a disciplinary commission for possible sanctions.

I love how the Guy in the white uniform stops to help him doesn't care about winning
True determination
Respect. He came back and then even won… but yes there is a but. Make the finish less stressful for cyclists. That is not normal what is going on now.
Dylan Groenenwegen should have gotten way more than he did for this crash. Also the way he handled the aftermath was not nice.
What is Gronewegen Think off
What about the other ciclists? Was anyone else seriously injured? Was the agresor prosecuted?
