British champion Pfeiffer Georgi fractured her neck in a high-speed crash on stage five of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on Thursday, but will not require surgery.
The dsm-firmenich PostNL rider came down in the same incident which saw defending champion Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) hit the deck and lose time. While the latter was able to finish the stage, nursing wounds, Georgi was forced leave the race. Blanka Vas of SD Worx-Protime won the stage.
