Belgian Jasper De Buyst (Lotto Soudal) is seeking two cyclists who may have witnessed a driver hitting him with their car while he was descending a mountain during training in Andorra on Friday.

According to Sportwereld, De Buyst suffered a broken rib and shoulder in the incident, which will likely mean he will miss the Vuelta a España, which begins in two weeks.
