The Ineos Grenadiers team has revealed the medical report of Tao Geoghegan Hart late on Tuesday night after the fall suffered by the British cyclist in the eleventh stage of the Giro d’Italia that caused him to abandon the race after being transferred by ambulance.
The Ineos team published this statement on their social networks with the part of Tao after he was admitted to a hospital in Genoa. “Immediately after being affected in a fall during the eleventh stage of the Giro d’Italia, Tao Geoghegan Hart has been transferred to a hospital in Genoa. After additional tests, the images confirmed that Tao has suffered a broken left hip that requires surgery. Tao, the thoughts and best wishes of your beloved Grenadiers are with you tonight. We wish a speedy recovery and we know that you have everything to come back stronger!”
In this way, Geraint Thomas loses another of his great helpers to win the Giro d’Italia after the abandonment of Filippo Ganna due to COVID, although The Welshman still has the Dutchman Thymen Arensman and the Belgian Laurens de Plus by his side, who are eighth and ninth respectively, 2:32 and 2:38 behind Thomas overall and will be a key player for Ineos in the demanding mountain days of the Turn.
