PARIS (AP) — Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen had successful surgery after breaking a collarbone during the crash-marred third stage of the Tour de France.

Philipsen was knocked over by Frenchman Bryan Coquard and landed heavily on his right side. The Stage 1 winner abandoned and was taken to hospital.

“He underwent a successful surgery last night at AZ Herentals (hospital) to repair his collarbone and AC (shoulder) joint,” Philipsen’s Alpecin-Deceuninck team posted on X on Tuesday. “Now the road to recovery begins, and we’ll be behind him all the way.”
