The 23-year-old cyclist was involved in a serious crash six kilometers before the finish line. More than ten athletes fell in the accident, among them Vas Blanka, who won the stage his teammate, Demi Vollering from the Netherlands, who had been leading overall up until then, did too, but Georgi was the worst.
“We are very sad to lose Pfeiffer as a result of yesterday’s accident,” Dutch DSM-Firmenich coach Albert Timmer told the club’s website. – “He is not only important to us as a team captain , but he also brings a lot to the team outside of cycling, so this is a big loss for us now.”
According to the team doctor, Pfeiffer was taken to the hospital, where tests showed that
he broke his arm and neck, but luckily he doesn’t need surgery.
The doctor also revealed that the British cyclist will definitely not get on a bike for at least four weeks, and there is no rush to recover, as health is the most important thing.
