"Jonas Vingegaard crashed during training on Monday. Fortunately, he is OK and did not sustain any serious injuries, read a team statement. In general, as a team we would like to urge fans on bikes to always put safety first. For both your own and others' wellbeing, please allow riders to train and give them as much space and peace as possible."
"Fernandez wrote that Vingegaard had crashed while trying to drop me on the descent of Fuente la Reina and, after stopping to check on the two-time Tour de France champion, said that Vingegaard got angry with me for following him down the hill. Fernandez said in his post: You can be a professional, but you can also be humble. He was going fast to drop me and ended up on the ground."
"You both passed me coming down, and as I was almost at the last bend, I found Jonas by the guardrail, his face bleeding in two places, read the comment. He must have hit it hard to drag his face along the ground. I stopped too and asked him if he needed help, and he told me no, to go away, very angry. Now I understand."
