The images they took were pretty poor, they indicated that there is no major fracture, but it could be a crack in some part of the leg. You don't do anything about it, the pain determines how much you can handle, she says to SVT.

She made a late decision to complete the fourth stage, which she also started. But later, she chose to abandon the competition during the race, writes SVT.

It was with barely five miles left on the third stage, in a large pack, when a cyclist drove too close to Fahlin, so the handlebars collided, and the Swede lost control of the bike. She flew off, scraped against the asphalt, and was hit from behind.

It was a hell of a crash, it's mainly in my hip that I'm in pain.
