The crash happened metres from the line in Katowice in Tour de Pologne/Tour of Poland in a fast, downhill sprint.

Groenewegen appears to be moving into Fabio Jakobsen’s line and raises his elbow, resulting in Fabio Jakobsen collides with the barriers, which breaks apart and sends Fabio Jakobsen into a horrific crash.

The UCI has said it “strongly condemns” the “dangerous behaviour” of Jumbo-Visma rider Dylan Groenewegen after he sent Fabio Jakobsen Deceuninck-Quick Step into the barriers at the end the opening stage of the Tour de Pologne.

Fabio Jakobsen’s life is said to be at risk due to “severe head and brain trauma,” according to the race doctor.

  1. Former lawyer here. Only a 9 month ban?! WTF? Should be aggravated assault (or even attempted manslaughter) charges brought against Groenewegen.

    Agree also they need to up their barrier game
