Former Tour de France winner Egan Bernal broke a collarbone in a crash at the Clasica Jaen bike race on Monday, won by his Ineos teammate Michal Kwiatkowski.

Bernal won the Tour in 2019 and the Giro d’Italia in 2021 before a brush with death in a training crash in Colombia in 2022 almost ended his career.

Earlier this month, the 28-year-old specialist climber won the Colombian road race and time-trial titles, his first victories since his high-speed collision with a bus.
