The medical report on stage 10 of the Tour de France had Wout van Aert down as having "contusions left elbow and forearm" after crashing at speed on a corner. The damage was bad enough that the Visma-Lease a Bike rider went to the medical truck after the stage for x-rays to check for fractures.

“Luckily I have no fractures," Van Aert said in an interview broadcast by FloBikes. "We came here to be sure that I didn’t have any fractures in the arm because that was quite painful after the crash but luckily that’s not the case, so good news.”
