The Quick-Step Floors team confirmed that Belgian Laurens De Plus was not seriously injured in a horrifying crash during Il Lombardia.
De Plus was part of the day's breakaway that was still clear on the fall from the Sormano, a descent his teammate Dan Martin once described as "one of the most dangerous downhills of any WorldTour racing".
The 22-year-old was chasing Mikel Cherel (AG2R La Mondiale) on the descent when he misjudged a bend and hit the guard rail and was launched into the air and over the edge.

The heart-stopping drop was fortunately not as far down as it appeared from the cameras.
We just talked with @LaurensDePlus, who fortunately has no serious injuries after that earlier crash and is on his way to the hospital.
