British cyclist Pfeiffer Georgi suffered neck fractures and a broken hand when she crashed on stage five of the Tour de France Femmes.<\/b><\/p>\n

Georgi, 23, went down in a mass pile-up<\/a> with 6.3km to go on Thursday and was forced to abandon the Tour.<\/p>\n

Her team, DSM-Firmenich PostNL, confirmed on Friday she was likely to be sidelined for “at least the next four weeks” but would not require surgery.<\/p>\n

“We are very sad to lose Pfeiffer due to yesterday’s hard crash,” DSM-Firmenich PostNL coach Albert Timmer said.<\/p>\n

“She is not only important during the race as our road captain but also off the bike she brings a lot to the group, so this is a big loss for us as a team.”<\/p>\n

Georgi competed for Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympics, finishing fifth in the women’s road race.<\/p>\n

She had been 45th in the general classification going into stage five of the Tour de France Femmes.<\/p>\n

Team doctor Camiel Aldershof said: “After her hard crash yesterday at the Tour de France Femmes, Pfeiffer went to hospital to thoroughly assess her injuries.<\/p>\n

“The evaluations showed fractures of the neck that fortunately do not require surgery and a fracture in her right hand.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
