Following his involvement in a multi-rider crash during Wednesday's opening stage at the Tour de Hongrie, Egan Bernal is set to continue in the Hungarian stage race despite having sustained road rash and bruising in the fall.

The Colombian is leading Ineos Grenadiers at the five-day race, his fifth stage race of the season. However, 1.1km from the end of the sprint stage to Szentgotthárd, he was caught-up in a high-speed crash that saw around a dozen riders hit the ground.
