There has been an update in the meantime to the Norwegian’s condition, luckily positive ones as those close to Johannessen explained what happened. “Tobias is feeling much better now. It looked terrible,” DS Thor Hushovd shared with Wielerflits. “He was suffering from stomach cramps and is now going to the hospital for a medical check-up, on the advice of our team doctor. That’s the best thing to do.”
Reportedly he was taken to the medical vehicle of the race for a while, and after regaining consciousness he was taken out in a stretcher towards the team bus. He has been taken to an hospital in Avignon. “It’s too early to say. His health is paramount, and we’ll listen to his body if there are any problems. But we can only assess that later today,” he concluded.
