Campbell Stewart has been taken to hospital after a horrific accident during the Tour of Hungary. In the team sprint race, New Zealander Jayco Al-Ala was involved in a severe accident after Immels Leibens took advantage of his front wheel.

Emils Lippens was to the right of the New Zealander, but he wanted to go to the left.
