"He has some bruises and a blow in his left-side temple and also feels a bit dizzy and in pain, but it's not dangerous at all," said José Luis Laguía from the hospital. "He's coming back to the team hotel with me and [sports director] José Luis Jaimerena, with no other checks expected."
The incident took place about 50km into the 170km stage from Beveren to Ardooie.
Izagirre was "always conscious, yet bewildered," according to the team statement, which said the Basque allrounder responded to all stimulus from Jaimerena and the race doctors before being transported to the hospital.
