Egan Bernal's Collarbone Fracture at Clásica Jaén

Egan Bernal, a former Tour de France champion, fractured his collarbone following a crash during the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior race in Spain. The 28-year-old Colombian cyclist, part of a 10-rider chase group, had to abandon the race and was taken to a hospital for treatment. His team, Ineos Grenadiers, confirmed the injury and announced that a comprehensive recovery plan will be set for his return. This incident comes shortly after Bernal's victory at the Colombian National Championships, marking a significant comeback after a near-fatal crash in 2022. Bernal was preparing for a series of races in Italy, including aiming for a second Giro d'Italia title. Despite the setback, Bernal remains optimistic about returning to racing soon.
