Horrible crash in the 1994 Tour de France: Nelissen and Jalabert badly injured.
During the 1994 Tour de France, Wilfred Nelissen collided with a policeman, causing a severe crash that also brought down Laurent Jalabert. Both riders were badly injured. The incident occurred during the sprint finish, where Nelissen, not looking ahead, veered into the barriers and clipped the feet of the barriers, ultimately crashing into the policeman. Despite the chaos, Jamolidin Abdujaparov won the stage, with Olaf Ludwig finishing second. The crash left Nelissen semi-conscious and Jalabert dazed and bleeding. The policeman involved was also injured. The incident was controversial, but it was clear that Abdujaparov was not at fault.
