Horror fall and stretcher. The rebuilt Cavendish was taken away by an ambulance – PRAVDA.sk

Track cycling is his longtime love. He stayed with her even after he worked his way up to be one of the best spurtors in the world.

Mark Cavendish is being transported to the hospital after falling at the Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent event.

However, the last day at the Zesdaags Vlaanderen-Gent event did not end happily for Mark Cavendish.

During the madison discipline, where he competed in the Deceuninck-QuickStep team jersey with his colleague Ilyo Keiss, he suffered an unpleasant fall, after which he ended up in the care of doctors.

Watch the video:

Cavendish lay shaken to the ground for several minutes after the fall.

Although he stood up for a moment and nodded to the spectators, the ambulance placed him on a stretcher for precautionary reasons and took him by ambulance to a hospital in Ghent.

“Mark is in the hospital, undergoing examinations. If we have more information, we will publish it, “QuickStep wrote in a short statement on Sunday night.

Cavendish got involved in a collision when Norman Hansen fell in front of him. Kenny DeKetele literally shot him down the Kuipke oval track.

According to Jasper De Buyst, the crash was caused by a small body of water on which DeKetele slipped.

“I’ve noticed Daddy about the bike before. But then I didn’t go so fast and avoided falling. I believe Cav will be fine, “said De Buyst.
