A difficult season for Fabio Jakobsen has been compounded with yet more bad luck, after suffering a broken collarbone in a crash early on stage 3 of the Renewi Tour. After being forced to abandon he visited a local hospital in Belgium, where he underwent surgery on Friday night.
The Dutchman had already been sidelined for most of the season after undergoing iliac artery surgery at the start of April, which forced him to miss most of the Spring Classics and ruled him out of participating in any of the Grand Tours this season.
