Details of the Incident
During the race, Wandahl found himself in an unfortunate situation when a rider ahead of him crashed into a ditch, resulting in a mass fall on both sides of the route. This led to Wandahl being airlifted to a hospital in Hungary for emergency treatment.
Hospitalization and Recovery
Initially anticipating a brief hospital stay, Wandahl remained under observation for several days due to concerns surrounding a concussion and the detection of blood within his brain. As a precaution, medical professionals monitored his condition closely before discharging him on Monday.
