Marc Hirschi breaks collarbone in Tour of the Alps – Pro cycling injury list 2026

Marc Hirschi (Tudor) and Lorenzo Finn (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) are the latest riders in the pro peloton to be sidelined due to crash injuries. Hirschi crashed during La Flèche Wallonne, while Finn fell during stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps.

Hirschi suffered a broken collarbone, while Finn broke his wrist. Damien Howson (Pinarello-Q36.5) also suffered a broken collarbone in the Tour of the Alps.

Raced at high speeds with only a helmet and some lycra for protection, cycling is an increasingly dangerous sport, where split-second crashes can have dramatic effects with injuries and fractures that can rule riders out for weeks or months.

Crashes are part and parcel of racing and training, which means that every team in the peloton has a list of injured riders to look after at some point during the season. 2026 is no different, with plenty of riders suffering various fractures and injuries in the opening months of the season.

Rider safety has been an increasingly prominent topic in recent years, but the number of crashes so far in 2026 points to a wider issue still being present.

The Spring Classics are always particularly dangerous, with the tense racing and technical, often cobbled routes primed for crashes and incidents. Every year, we see several riders have to cut their spring short due to injuries.

This year, the cobbled Classics definitely took their toll, with injuries for Marlen Reusser, Kim Le Court-Pienaar and Stefan Küng among the riders who suffered broken bones and season-interrupting injuries during the Classics.

Paris-Roubaix, often known as the most dangerous Classic, was actually sparingly low on serious injuries this year. Dozens of riders, including Florian Vermeersch and Chloé Dygert, picked up knocks and abrasions, but the serious injuries were relatively limited. That said, one rider did come away with a fractured jaw and other broken bones.

Matteo Jorgenson suffered a broken collarbone in a crash during the Amstel Gold Race, and saw his whole Ardennes Classics campaign evaporate.

Away from the Classics, a few high profile GC riders are out, including Isaac del Toro who injured his thigh muscle at Itzulia Basque Country, whilst Tom Pidcock was out after a nasty crash at the Volta a Catalunya, but is back in action.

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.
