Zdenek Stybar wins stage two of 2014 Eneco Tour
Zdenek Stybar is recovering in hospital after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his lips subsequent to crashing heavily during the sprint at the end of Thursday's Eneco Tour stage four in the Netherlands.
His Omega Pharma-QuickStep team said on Friday that Stybar required internal and external stitching of his lips, and had three teeth replaced. Stybar was removed from the crash scene by stretcher and with a neck brace. Subsequent scans showed that there were no breaks or fractures.
