Medics monitor Dan Martin after Flèche Wallonne crash

Dan Martin is recovering from contusions, abrasions and a sore neck after crashing at the Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday. Cannondale-Garmin released a statement on Thursday that said he was currently being monitored by medical staff. Martin was scheduled to race Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday, a race he won in 2013, and his team is still hopeful that he will be able to compete.

The Irishman crashed after crossing wheels with Tiago Machado as the peloton approached the Mur de Huy for the first time. Although he initially returned to the bunch, he ended up abandoning the race.
