jens voigt crash Jens Voigt Crash: Out of Tour de France (VIDEO)German cyclist Jens Voigt suffered a horrific crash on Tuesday's Stage 16 and is now out of the Tour de France.

The 37-year-old Voigt momentarily lost consciousness after a nasty fall early on the descent from the Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard.  He was immediately taken to a hospital by ambulance once he was revived.

"I only saw him after the crash and he looked very, very bad," said team boss Bjarne Riis, a former Tour de France winner.

"It's not nice to lose a rider like this, but these are things which happen in a race and you have to accept them.

"It is too early to say how bad his injuries are, I didn't see the crash, I only saw the aftermath and it wasn't good.

"I am just concerned with Jens' health right now."

Official race doctor Gerard Porte said: "He lost consciousness for three to four minutes. He has injuries mainly to his face and when he gets to hospital in Grenoble he will be having a full scan."
