Stage 16 of the Tour de France brought us one of the most cringe-worthy crashes yet. Jens Voigt lost control of his bike at high speed on the long descent of the Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard and fell heavily on his right side, his body sliding along the pavement. According to the report, Saxo Bank team spokesman Brian Nygaard said Voigt was airlifted to a hospital in Grenoble. (Video after the jump.)
The injuries Voigt sustained included a concussion, a broken orbital bone under one eye, and gashes on his right side that required stitches. The German cyclist was reportedly kept overnight for observation, but he's in good spirits and sent a message to his teammates assuring them he would be fine.
