Cyclocross: Jolanda Neff was seriously injured in a fall at the Cross World Cup in Hoogerheide. The mountain bike world champion broke her collarbone and fractured her right elbow and will not be able to compete in the Cross Country World Championships in Valkenburg next weekend.

Neff has already had an operation on his collarbone, and the injury to his elbow is to be treated conservatively, according to the Swiss association in a press release. If the healing process goes well, the 25-year-old from Thal will be able to start training again next week. Neff, like Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, fell on a descent on Sunday after the Frenchwoman touched her. According to his own statements, Ferrand-Prevot remained without major injuries and plans to start at the World Championships.
