Following his accident on stage 3 of the AlUla Tour, Laurenz Rex underwent further examinations, which revealed that he has broken 3 processus spinosus in his back.

Laurenz is in a stable condition but will require several weeks of rest before beginning his rehabilitation. Everyone at Soudal Quick-Step and the wider Wolfpack family wishes Laurenz a speedy recovery.

“I would like to thank the team’s doctor, the race’s medical staff and everyone at the hospital for looking after me, as well as everybody that has sent me good wishes and messages – it has been very special. I will now take some time to recover and hope to come back stronger later in the season.”

An update on Laurenz’s condition will be made after further checks this week.
