Egan Bernal has been diagnosed with a fractured clavicle following a crash in the closing stages of Clasica Jaen on Monday.

The Colombian national champion will remain under the expert care of the INEOS Grenadiers medical team, and a comprehensive recovery plan will be implemented to support his return to training and racing.

After being released from hospital, Bernal said: "I was really happy to start racing again in Europe, especially with my new Colombian jersey and also starting with a victory from Kwiato.

"The way we raced was great and it was really nice to be part of a strong team. I was feeling really strong and obviously I’m sad to have crashed, but at the same time the way I felt during the race gave me a lot of confidence and motivation to keep working hard, the season (ahead) is very long. 

"I’ve felt very good in the three races that I have done, so I just have to keep working and I hope to be back soon."
