Raced at high speeds with only a helmet and some lycra for protection, cycling is a dangerous sport where split-second crashes can have dramatic consequences in the form of injuries and fractures that can rule riders out for weeks or months.
Given crashes are, unfortunately, part of racing and training that means every team in the peloton has a list of injured riders to look after at some point during the season. Plus, even though rider safety has been an increasingly prominent topic in recent years, the number of crashes so far in 2026, some with devastating consequences, demonstrates that the issue is as present as ever.
Right from the beginning of the season – with a kangaroo among the peloton at the men's Tour Down Under contributing tough opening months for riders like Jhonatan Narváez and fellow UAE team Emirates-XRG rider Jay Vine – the toll of crashed has been clear. That continued, right from Paris-Roubaix – where the return of Chloe Dygert (Canyon-SRAM) faltered –through to the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de Suisse – where Urška Žigart (AG Insurance-Soudal) fractured her jaw – and the Tour de France where Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) had to leave with a broken collarbone. Then there was the Vuelta a España transforming crash of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) at the end of August.
We've compiled all currently injured riders in one place with a log of their injuries, as well as the race and date they were sustained, which we'll update periodically. Some riders listed here may have recovered from their injuries, but are yet to return to racing.
Here's the rundown of all the ongoing injuries keeping riders out of racing at the WorldTour, Women's WorldTour and ProTeam levels.
