Tobias Johannessen collapses after Ventoux finish but is 'feeling well' back at team hotel
There were worrying scenes after the finish of stage 16 on Mont Ventoux as the former Tour de l'Avenir winner, Norwegian rider, Tobias Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility) collapsed after the finish line, and was given oxygen. Uno-X has since confirmed that Johannessen is back at the hotel and feeling well, adding that all tests came back fine and he will rest overnight before a decision is made on his participation in stage 17.

Johannssen was reportedly suffering from a bout of stomach pain and a shortness of breath on the Mont Ventoux run-in that caused him to collapse after the finish, according to Uno-X mobility general manager, Thor Hushovd. Johannessen finished the stage in 28th place, supported by his teammate Andreas Leknessund, +5:11 down on stage winner Valentin Paret-Peintre. After crossing the line, Johannessen was then quickly seen to by medical professionals, who then took him away via a stretcher. On the stretcher, Johannessen was smiling and giving a thumbs up to reporters, according to Daniel Friebe.
Johannessen will now undergo liver and blood tests in the hospital at Avignon, and only then will a decision be made on whether or not Johannessen will be able to continue in the 2025 Tour de France.
After 16 stages, the 25-year old Norwegian finds himself sitting in 8th place in the general classification, +17:01 down on the general classification leader, Tadej Pogačar. General manager, Hushovd, when asked about Uno-X Mobility's goals for the final position in Paris, was clear about the team's priority.
"First, I would like that Tobias gets well and is 100% healthy. That's the most important thing," he stated. "If he's number 6, 7, 8 or 10, in the end of the day it doesn't matter. It's about the rider and the athlete."
Update
His team, Uno-X Mobility, confirmed via social media that Tobias is back at the hotel and feeling well, adding: “All tests have come back fine. We will use the night to let him rest and make a decision regarding tomorrow’s start in the morning.”
