Neo-pro Paul Magnier had to abandon the Tour of Britain on the last stage.
Winner of three stages at this year’s edition, Paul Magnier was involved in a crash that forced him to say goodbye to the race whose bunch sprints he dominated. The Frenchman, who at that moment was wearing the red jersey rewarding the leader of the points classification, was immediately taken to the hospital in Ipswich for a series of investigations.
Paul underwent a CT scan which revealed a serious brain concussion that requires him to spend the night in the hospital. At the same time, the 20-year-old suffered some serious abrasions to his elbow and knee that will need some stitching.
Everybody at Soudal Quick-Step wishes Paul Magnier a speedy and complete recovery.
