Movistar cyclist Einer Rubio crashes during Stage 19 of the Tour de France after braking to avoid a spectator. Multiple reports describe the moment Rubio’s bicycle collides with the rear windscreen of a team car. After the impact, the rider is seen bleeding and is treated for his injuries. One account states Rubio requires around 20 stitches following the crash. The same reporting says the collision happens as the car is stopped or braking and Rubio, responding to the situation ahead, comes into contact with the vehicle’s rear window area. Following medical attention, Rubio withdraws from the race. The reports frame the incident as a rider-vehicle collision triggered by an attempted avoidance maneuver near a spectator, with the resulting injury serious enough to end his participation in that edition’s event.
