MARGUERITTES FRANCE FEBRUARY 06 Martin Svrcek of Slovakia and Team Soudal QuickStep competes during the 55th Etoile de Besseges Tour du Gard 2025 Stage 2 a 16583km stage from Domessargues to Marguerittes on February 06 2025 in Marguerittes France Photo by Billy CeustersGetty Images.

Soudal-QuickStep CEO Jurgen Foré has called for greater safety at races following Martin Svrček's crash at Milan-San Remo, which left the Slovakian with a fractured collarbone, scapula, and ribs.

Svrček crashed on the descent of the Cipressa late in the 289km Monument, going over a guardrail and falling three metres down the other side. Since his crash came as he was chasing back to the peloton alone, his accident went unnoticed, though luckily, he remained conscious and was able to contact his team via radio.
