Immediately after the unfortunate moment, Pöstlberger found himself in the care of doctors who transfused the cyclist and then quickly transported him to the hospital.
At first, however, a very serious condition should not have any serious consequences for the rider. According to the team, Pöstlberger should be fine thanks to the timely intervention of doctors.
