SABADELL, Spain (AP) ā Young Spanish rider Jaume GuardeƱo remains in a critical condition in hospital two weeks after a crash while training.
āJaume continues his fight in the intensive care unit of TaulĆ Hospital in Sabadell, where heās been since March 31, when he suffered an accident while training,ā the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA team said in a statement on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old GuardeƱo sustained serious injuries when he collided with a vehicle, reportedly head injuries after his bicycle struck a rock, days after he finished 29th in the Volta a Catalunya race.
GuardeƱo finished 14th in the Spanish Vuelta last year, and Caja Rural-Seguros RGA is due to make its Tour de France debut this year.
āHis condition remains critical, although stable within the seriousness of his condition. He is under constant monitoring and is scheduled to undergo further procedures in the coming days to aid his recovery,ā the team added.
Cycling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to young riders Tadej PogaÄar, Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard, but dangers remain. Last month, Olympic champion Tom Pidcock pulled out of the Volta a Catalunya after crashing down a ravine, and Italian cyclist Debora Silvestri was hospitalized after crashing during the womenās Milan-San Remo one-day classic.
