At the end of the stage, the experienced Lithuanian collapsed and due to the injuries he sustained, he was unable to continue the race. Ignat was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was examined.
“Thanks to everyone who wrote, they asked me how I was doing. The Tour de France has just ended for me, but it is a sport so you have to accept it.
I spent the night in the hospital, in the intensive care unit. There are no fractures, but I want to lean a bit more for a more in-depth investigation. I was unconscious, so I would spend two more days in the hospital and I had questions about my internal organs, “Konovalov said on his Instagram account.
7.7 km before the finish, two cyclists collapsed in the main group against I. Konovalov. The champion of our country, to avoid a collision, braked abruptly and soon turned his head, flew into the ditch, and his bike flew about 10 meters. Several rivals boiled over the lying Lithuanian cyclist. In all, several dozen cyclists fell into the collapse.
Konovalov, 35, started the Tour de France for the third time. He also participated in these contests in 2010 and 2017.
