Very serious crash for Gino Mader in the Tour of Switzerland

Very bad crash for Gino Mader in the descent of the Abulapass during the fifth stage of the Tour of Switzerland. The 26-year-old from Bahrain-Victorius was traveling between 80 and 100 km/h when he crashed.

The release of the Swiss race states that the rescuers found Mader, unconscious, in a stream located several meters below the road. The Swiss rider was revived on the spot and transported by helicopter to Samedan hospital; his conditions are critical, but stable at the moment.

Magnus Sheffield was involved in the fall, in a less serious way: he too was transported to hospital with a shoulder wound and a brain concussion.

Further news on the health of both riders is awaited, obviously hoping it will be positive.
