\n A terrifying crash in the Tour of Poland has left Dutch cyclist Fabio Jakobsen in an induced coma.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred as Jakobsen battled for victory with countryman Dylan Groenwegen, who races for Jumbo-Visma, near the finish line. Groenwegen suddenly veered right, sending Jakobsen flying through the roadside barriers and causing and ensuing pile-up.<\/p>\n

Jakobsen was awarded the victory after Groenwegen, who crossed the line first,\u00a0 was disqualified. Jakobsen\u2019s Deceuninck Quick-Step team suggested there was ill-intent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to court,\u201d the team\u2019s general<\/a> manager Patrick Lefevere tweeted. \u201cThese kinds of actions must be outside cycling. It is a criminal act, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police and prosecutors in Katowice are in fact investigating the crash. Governing body UCI has also condemned Groenwegen\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cGroenewegen was disqualified from the race by the commissaires\u2019 panel,\u201d UCI said in a statement. \u201cThe UCI, which considers the behavior unacceptable, immedia<\/a>tely referred the matter to the disciplinary commission to request the imposition of sanctions commensurate with the seriousness of the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jakobsen, 23, underwent a five-hour surgery on his skull and face at St. Barbara\u2019s Specialized Hospital, according to the AP, but had no brain or spinal injuries. Hospital deputy director Pawel Gruenpeter said \u201cthere is no direct threat to his life now,\u201d and that they will attempt to bring him out of the induced coma later Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t find words to describe how bad I find it for Fabio and others who fell or were hit,\u201d Groenewegen tweeted. \u201cAt the moment, Fabio\u2019s health is the most important thing. I\u2019m thinking of him constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident occurred a year to the day after Belgian cyclist Bjorg Lambrecht died in the hospital due to injuries caused by a crash into the concrete barriers at the same race. Multiple racers have called on UCI to improve the safety barriers surrounding the cyclists.<\/p>\n

\u201cSituations like yesterday must make the UCI reflect on the current conditions of the race, they are no longer the 80\u2032s when the mattress was sufficient for protection,\u201d Italian cyclist Alessandro De Marchi tweeted. \u201cToday the speeds are absurd, we need an evolution in safety measures, and also how certain race actions are judged: we need tolerance zero!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
