Guardeno, 23, suffered serious head injuries after his bike hit a rock and a collision with a vehicle, days after finishing 29th in the Volta a Catalunya race.
Guardeno finished 14th in Spain’s Vuelta last year and Caja Rural Seguros RGA is set to make his Tour de France debut this year.
“His condition is stable within the serious range, but remains critical. He is under constant monitoring and will undergo further treatment in the coming days to aid his recovery,” the team added.
Cycling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to young riders such as Tadej Pogačar, Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Remko Evenepoel and Jonas Wingegaard, but the dangers remain. Last month, Olympic champion Tom Pidcock retired from the Volta a Catalunya after falling into a ravine, and Italian cyclist Deborah Silvestri was hospitalized after falling in the women’s Milan-San Remo one-day classic.
